Planting Happiness: Giving Back with Happy Day Plants
​
"In 2020, when Bailey Birmingham tossed up her graduation cap, her family cheered for the start of her brand-new journey. However, for individuals with Down syndrome like Bailey, the post-grad job hunt proved challenging—significantly more so than Bailey’s peers. Bailey’s mother, Jessica, struggled with that journey until the day she stumbled upon Ramble on Pearl Street, a clothing store that hosted an apprentice program for adults with disabilities."
