One month after a 30-year hailstorm in Colorado, our garden in Thornton is on the mend. Gardening here can be challenging, but it also brings us closer to each other and nature. It helps us appreciate nature’s rhythms and more importantly how these rhythms are increasingly being thrown out of regularity by climate change. It was just 10 years ago when we had hummingbirds in the backyard, and we did not even need to turn on air conditioning throughout the summer. 

Our garden symbolizes our commitment to the environment and sustainable living. Besides beautiful lilies and roses, our Colorado home garden produces salad greens, radishes, tomatoes, onions, apples, peaches, and apricots when these trees dodge a late spring freeze or hailstorm. At Civil Renewables Inc., we believe that working in clean energy aligns naturally with our passion for green spaces, and gardening is a perfect example. 

We encourage our staff to engage in gardening as a healthy and active way to take a break, especially when working remotely. It's vital to have healthy breaks and hobbies to stay refreshed and motivated. Gardening offers a wonderful way to connect with nature and reinforce our dedication to sustainability. Here’s to a thriving garden and a greener future!
