Orchard project will enhance local community,
while promoting sustainability among local students and
families
The Toro Company is committed to supporting communities and
organizations in their effort to apply more efficient and
sustainable water use practices. As such, Toro is proud to announce
its sponsorship of the EarthLab Community Orchard at the Groundwork
EarthLab Outdoor Science and Climate Action Center in San
Diego.
The EarthLab is a 4-acre outdoor park, managed by Groundwork San
Diego-Chollas Creek on behalf of the San Diego Unified School
District. The organization serves over 3,000 low-income students
and their families throughout the school year and during the
summer, and promotes academic advancement, environmental
stewardship, climate action and careers in conservation
technology.
The project includes the installation of a 40-tree orchard with
Toro donating all drip irrigation equipment for this project,
including Blue Stripe® hose, micro-sprinklers, and NGE® emitters
that will allow for water-efficient irrigation for years to
come.
“Toro has built a legacy of giving back to the communities where
our employees live and work, in ways that enrich the enjoyment of
the outdoor environment, support education, and promote the
efficient use of water,” said Phil Burkart, vice president of The
Toro Company’s Irrigation and Lighting Businesses. “We are happy to
contribute to the EarthLab’s efforts to promote conservation,
beautification and community health for San Diego-area
residents.”
The orchard was installed October 13, 2017, during an event
organized by Groundwork San Diego-Chollas Creek. Students worked
alongside volunteers to plant the drought-resistant fruit trees,
donated by La Mesa Rotary.
Groundwork San Diego focuses on improving the environment,
economic and quality-of-life in southeast San Diego. The
organization strives to bring about the sustained regeneration,
improvement and management of the physical environment through the
development of community-based partnerships, which empower people,
businesses and organizations to promote environmental, economic and
social well-being.
