Community Involvement
Congratulations, Sandi, on your Work of Heart nomination!
B&B would like to acknowledge Contract Administrator Sandi Saurers for her work with the Florida Native Plant Society. Her efforts landed her a nomination to the 2012 Work of Heart Awards, which recognizes remarkable volunteers who help make our community stronger. Way to go, Sandi! (Doesn’t her yard look amazing? And it’s all native plants.)
Fun fact: This is the second time a B&B employee has been recognized by the Work of Hearts Awards, and we’re a company of under 20. In 2010, Michelle Gould won the Education Volunteer of the Year for her work with the Take Stock in Children program in Alachua County.
Open House Event - 2011
B&B held an open house on May 25, 2011 for all of our loyal customers and community partners in honor of our 25th anniversary. As you know, we are proud to be a contributing member of the Gainesville community and one of our favorite organizations is Gainesville Harvest, a local food bank. For our open house, we encouraged everyone to bring canned goods for Gainesville Harvest in exchange to be entered into a raffle for local vendor gifts. We are proud to announce that we collected over 800 pounds of food – nearly a half ton! During the event, Gainesville Harvest also found another corporate donor and Wild Iris Market donated a website redesign to the organization. We thank everyone who joined us in helping make this happen!

Doggie Day 2012
Dogs and employees alike enjoyed B&B Doggie Day. All the pooches made new buddies, played well together, and begged in unison for Earth Pets treats. The only sad moments were when one of their pack had to go home.
