Abana Jacobs was a friend to gardening and passionate about getting people outdoors. Always teaching others about sustainability, giving back to the community and connecting other leaders who could bring about change. On 11/23/20, Abana passed away from complications due to Covid 19.
On this Thanksgiving weekend, we are reminded how much this industry has been blessed with a surge in interest in gardening and landscaping services being deemed essential. We're thankful for industry leaders like Abana who always gave of herself, stood behind the scenes and made a big impact on the world around us.
As leaders in the industry and our communities, we should take the time to be thankful for all the amazing things we have the opportunity to do. Take time to appreciate those in your network. Offer someone help and hope when they need it most. While inspiring others to work towards good in this world.
