Help us build Lou's Greenhouse!


Lou Encouraged us all to Sow Our Wild O.A.K.s(Ordinary Acts of Kindness)

Lou Poulos was a kind man with a big smile and a generous heart. As a local award-winning landscaper, he planted oaks (and other plants) for a living. He also planted O.A.K.s (Ordinary Acts of Kindness) with the way he lived his life.

Lou passed away unexpectedly on October 18, 2009 and, as those who loved him, we want to continue sowing his O.A.K.s (Ordinary Acts of Kindness).

Our goal is to raise enough money to build Lou's Greenhouse. Lou's Greenhouse will be a part of the larger Cygnet House project - a group foster care home which will be built in Central Brevard.

Named after a baby swan, the Cygnet House will be a foster care group home for children ages 6-14 years old that have been placed in the protective services of the Department of Children & Families, District VII in Brevard County.

Plans for the Cygnet House include a butterfly garden and a vegetable garden where the children will learn the many benefits of working in a garden.

Our goal is to raise enough funds to build Lou's Greenhouse and Garden Shed - an on-site structure to further instill the love of gardening and plants into the children of Cygnet House.
We will be raising these funds through donations, plant sales and other means.

If you would like to find out how you can help us build Lou's Greenhouse, please email us.
