What Joey and the boys started in their own backyard is now open to everyone. Pick a native species and plant it yourself or let our crew put roots down for you.
Plant in honor of Dawne or bring your own story of love and loss. Choose a meaningful native species, place a marker, and cultivate a living legacy.
Joey and the boys lead neighborhood planting days, park restorations, and schoolyard shade projects that bring families together under green canopy.
When Dawne passed, Joey and the boys picked up shovels with a shared promise: turn heartbreak into living growth. One shovel, one native oak, one memory. Soon, neighbors grabbed shovels too, and DIG was born.
