Land Acknowledgement

E.D.G.E respectfully acknowledges that we gather, learn, and cultivate on the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land for generations. As a community dedicated to horticulture and conservation, we commit to learning from Indigenous practices, respecting the land, and promoting sustainability in all that we do. We strive to foster a deeper understanding of our shared responsibility to care for the environment and support reconciliation efforts through education and action.
