Ginkgo trees are cool, weird, and beautiful.

They are the oldest tree species on Earth, older than Mt. Rainier, humans, and even the ancient dinosaurs. To outlast ice ages, rifting continents, and asteroids is not just a story of survival but a tale of resilience. We rooted the Founders Collection in this tale to a create community that prides itself on being resilient in the face of climate change.

The ginkgo is a reminder that resilience is not passive; it is a choice to keep growing, keep adapting, and keep reaching toward the light, even when the world shifts around us. By honoring the ginkgo, we honor the strength within each member of this community: a promise that together, we can all be as cool, weird, beautiful, and resilient as a ginkgo.
