Press Release
K&D Landscaping, Inc., one of the Central Coast's leading commercial and estate landscape companies, proudly rolled up its sleeves this week to support a major community initiative. For its Q2 Beautification Project, the company's management and field teams volunteered a full day of labor to help construct and contribute to the new Floodberg Park Community Garden, a project spearheaded by the Community Health Trust of Pajaro Valley (CHT).
The transformation of the space was the result of a true community partnership. By combining CHT's powerful vision with K&D Landscaping's professional expertise and dedicated manpower, the two organizations worked seamlessly to bring the garden to life. The volunteer crew spent the day tackling the heavy lifting, constructing new garden beds, moving soil, and getting dozens of plants into the ground to create a vibrant, health-focused green space for the neighborhood.
The Community Gardens program is funded in large part by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is led by CHT, in partnership with the City of Watsonville and the Monterey Bay Master Gardeners.
"At the Community Health Trust, our mission is to foster a healthy and equitable Pajaro Valley through advocacy, collaboration, and wellness," said DeAndre' James, Executive Director of CHT. "Our Community Gardens program reflects that commitment by creating spaces where residents can grow fresh food, lead active lifestyles, and strengthen connections. We are grateful for the support from partners like K&D Landscaping, whose involvement helps us expand this impact through our fourth garden in Watsonville, ultimately increasing access to fresh, nutritious food for local families."
"We are celebrating 40 years in business, and there is no better way to honor that milestone than by getting our hands dirty for the community we call home," said Justin White, CEO of K&D Landscaping. "CHT is doing incredible work to improve wellness in Watsonville. We were honored they invited us to step in, provide the heavy lifting, and help turn their vision for this garden into a reality."
Since its founding in 1986, K&D Landscaping has spent four decades serving the Monterey Bay region. While the team manages extensive commercial properties and private estates daily, community investment remains the heartbeat of its operations.
"Our crew shows up for volunteer projects with the exact same dedication and standard of excellence they bring to our client properties," White added. "Giving back is not just something we do; it is part of our DNA."
