Help Us Build a Lasting Legacy: Beautification Project!

The Redlands Chamber of Commerce and the Leadership Redlands Class of 2025 are proud to announce our service project: a sustainable beautification initiative that will showcase the natural beauty of Redlands through the use of native, drought-tolerant plants.

This project near Sylvan Park will transform an unimproved area into a thriving, educational, and welcoming community space filled with native, drought-tolerant plants that attract pollinators, support food security, and showcase the natural beauty of Redlands. More than just a garden, this is an investment in our city’s future.

Why This Matters

Our Community Beautification Project is designed to:

• Reduce long-term maintenance costs and water use
• Support local agriculture and strengthen food security
• Promote environmental responsibility and climate resilience
• Increase foot traffic and benefit local businesses
• Enrich community life through beauty, education, and engagement

Together, we can create a place where families, students, and visitors learn, gather, and connect with nature, today and for generations to come.
