The Give and Grow is a womxn-led business that aims to promote growth—a mission that involves its design-forward NBA planters and its involvement in the community through partnerships with local organizations.
As a part of its mission, The Give and Grow hosts "workshops for young womxn in the Toronto community," and gives a portion of the proceeds made from its NBA planters to youth programming initiatives in the city. The NBA planters are available as pick-up orders in Mississauga and Toronto, with a selection also offered for Canada-wide shipping with a $10 flat rate. The carved out basketball planters can be purchased with and without geometric plant stands, and can easily be made into hanging planters.
