ABOUT US

We’re a group of flower farmers, artists and small businesses coming together to raise funds in solidarity with Palestinian communities.

As people of the land, we stand for the right of all communities to food, clean water, medicine, and sovereignty over their soil. Across borders and differences, we see shared values: care for the earth, commitment to community, and the deep resilience it takes to continue on living in harrowing conditions.

We also want to be clear— we condemn the killing of all civilians. Palestinian and Israeli. Every life lost is a tragedy. What we stand for is dignity, safety, and a livable future for everyone.

This initiative is one small way we can show care, raise funds, and say: not in our names. 

Thank you for being a part of it.

MUTUAL AID

All proceeds will be donated to Thamra Org and the Almbasher Family - two Gazan causes close to our hearts:

Thamra Org is a Palestinian organisation working toward food sovereignty through farming and horticulture projects. Currently, Thamra is focused on the urgent distribution of food to communities in Gaza - ensuring families under siege have access to nourishment and support rooted in dignity and justice.

The Almbasher family continue to live in Gaza, surviving through forced starvation, severe food shortages, grief, and ongoing violence. Like all in Gaza, they have lost many family members, including children, to the bombing by Israel. 

This family is not a small nuclear unit, but a large extended family, as is common in Palestine. Their survival depends on the strength of their wider family and community—many of whom live together, share resources, and care for each other across generations. 

The family is totally reliant upon external support so the funds raised have a direct and immediate impact on their ongoing survival. The Almbasher family is connected to us personally — Abed, who is fundraising for his family, is married to Meran’s cousin. Meran is a co-organiser of this fundraiser and the grower behind Fox’s Lane Farm.
