Relationship Takes Root – Թϱ Celebrated with Corporate Partner of the Year Award

In late 2024, the celebrated Թϱ’s contributions to the garden by awarding the team the Corporate Partner of the Year Award.

The annual award celebrates Թϱ’s multifaceted relationship with the garden that dates to 2021 when Թϱ was selected as the general contractor to build the one-of-a-kind Carol & Bruce Bell Children’s Garden. In the years since, Թϱ employees have donated volunteer time annually to perform horticultural projects, from weeding to planting, and Թϱ has committed to being a corporate garden sponsor through the 2027-2028 season. Tony Meeuwsen, director of business development, additionally obtained a donation of security lighting from Sunbelt, a subcontractor, on behalf of the garden.

“The garden’s WPS Garden of Lights and concert series are highly-attended events, and safety is critical,” said Tony. “We’re proud to play a part in ensuring a safe environment so garden guests can enjoy these events.”

Through efforts like these, the partnership with the garden has grown beyond a professional relationship, demonstrating Թϱ’s belief in the power of community, said Jonathan Ballmer, vice president and general manager.

“The work that the Green Bay Botanical Garden does in fulfilling its mission of delivering educational and recreational experiences in nature is truly amazing. We are proud to be a partner with them in using our superpower of construction and volunteerism to support them in their mission. Kudos to our team that helped expand their impact,” said Jonathan.
