FALLBROOK – Olive Hill Nurseries worked with the Boys and Girls Clubs of North County to offer the mothers in Fallbrook a surprise for Mother's Day.
On Wednesday, May 6, Olive Hill Nurseries donated and dropped off 400 potted bromeliads to Maie Ellis and La Paloma Elementary schools. These colorful plants were handed out to mothers during the scheduled lunch pick up at each of the schools.
"When Sue from Olive Hill Nurseries approached us with the idea of giving back to the community, we saw a wonderful opportunity," Allison Barclay, CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of North County, said. "We are so grateful to offer these beautiful Mother's Day gifts to all our mothers, but we could not have done it without the generosity of the staff over at Olive Hill Nurseries."
