Soles 4 Souls

Wisteria Landscapers and The Boston House Condominiums joins together each year to sponsor Soles 4 Souls.  The public is invited to donate gently-worn or new shoes for families and children who are unable to afford these most-basic necessities.  Shoes are provided to the poorest of the poor, most of whom are children who may have never owned a pair of shoes. The event has traditionally been a huge success, securing over 300 pairs of shoes each year.

Soles 4 Souls is a charity whose mission is simple:  "To impact as many lives as possible with the gift of shoes."

Earth Day

Earth Day, celebrated on April 22 each year, is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment.  Wisteria Landscapers is committed to supporting and practicing environmental responsibility in both our office and production operations, as well as our clients’ projects.  This year we were pleased to participate in the Earth Day Exposition hosted at the US Commerce Department in Washington, DC, where we provided literature and answered questions on how “green” landscaping practices, or  “Greenscaping” can save time, energy, water and money while improving the health of our soils, air, drinking water and rivers.
