Plantables is a wonderful destination place within the city of Redding, if you like plants,…read moreflowers, interesting yard or landscape design or garden art, iron work, antiques, night lights, music, really good wine, and economically priced light entrees this is your spot! It's the perfect place to enjoy the company of someone special or lots of good friends. I'm Bob Henderson and many of you know me as Bonsai Bob. I must confess, when I first heard about this not-for-profit opportunity for students, I was intrigued but hadn't made it over there to check it out, until I met Kirkwood one evening by chance, on a difficult plant extraction expedition. We have become friends since and I fell in love with Plantables. That said, I would not be endorsing the business if there wasn't something special about the atmosphere created by Kirkwood and Donna the owners, and the vision they have for investing a life savings into a business model designed to benefit young people. One of their main focuses is to teach young people how to serve customers in a public environment, operate parts of the business, as well as care for and grow a variety of plants to sell to the customers. Kirkwood (a landscape design architect and plant educator) and Donna, have a history of working in many places around the world, creating rich garden experiences for others and wanted to bring something special back to the Redding community. If you ask them, I'm sure they would love to tell you about the things they have been involved with Globally. The atmosphere is always wonderful with medium-to small seating areas around for semi-private conversations surrounded by pockets of bushes, flowers and unique art garden. Everywhere you turn there is something interesting to see. While the menu is not large, what is served has been really good! I love the pinenes with extra basil spread? Additionally, for several weeks of the year, Kirkwood and helpers teach a number of plant enrichment courses through Shasta College. When I retire, I can see myself volunteering there because of the mission to the students and the community.

We are not homeless but are old(er) and need help nonetheless. Not only have we been given a wonderful assortment of food, we have also been given hope and love. Pat, I believe is the director (a volunteer position)She has been doing an incredible job, along with all of the wonderful staff of volunteers that show up with huge smiles at each food bank. They aren't just there for the food banks. It's a full time job. They spend days picking up, sorting, storing and repackaging food. They survive on donations of cash to pay the rent, many times digging into their own pockets. Thank you all for your dedication and serving hearts. We would be lost without you. Please, if you can, support this worthy organization.

My son had just three months to prepare for a fitness exam that required at least 15 pull-ups. At first, both my son and I were nervous and stressed about whether he could make it. But thanks to Andrew's exceptional training, calm personality, and systematic approach, my son not only reached his goal but confidently hit exactly 15 pull-ups on the day of the test. Andrew is more than just a trainer--he's a mentor who knows how to bring out the best in his clients while easing their worries. His combination of kindness, professionalism, and skill is unmatched. We recommend him with complete confidence. Without question, Andrew is the BEST trainer we have ever worked with.
