Today, houseplants are in total demand, isn’t it? And we are sure you want one or two to decorate your house, and definitely for good reason. So, why don’t you check out The Give and Grow’ range of products to give that dreamy and sporty look to your rooms?

The Give and Grow, founded by Olivia Ho, a die-hard fan of the Toronto Raptors, mixes basketball and plants to disseminate the concept of growth. This specific firm sells basketball planters and holds seminars to encourage women to take risks and let their creative juices flow. A portion of the proceeds from each planter is donated directly to the Toronto youth programs so that individuals feel good about exhibiting their houseplants.

The Give and Grow, based out of Toronto, combines basketball and plants to spread the idea of growth. Olivia Ho is the creative behind this innovative company. This particular company sells basketball planters and offers workshops that motivate women to dare themselves and bring that creative juice out of their heads. 

The company recently travelled to Cleveland to participate in the 2022 All-Star Weekend NBA Crossover in order to host community workshops on the border. A part of each planter directly goes towards the Toronto youth program, so that people can feel good about displaying their houseplants.

Olivia Ho, a big fan of the Toronto Raptors, has a history of coaching kids on the court. She has toyed with these creative ideas of figuratively planting seeds, solidifying roots, and realizing their full potential. Her aim is to encourage the development of everything and everyone around, planting the seeds for the future generation of youth, with a heavy focus on well-being and mental health.
