Now that's the kind of fun we wish we could have every day! Last night we had 250+ people at the mill, enjoying delicious food, dancing to music by the amazing Nekita Waller Band, and taking in these unbelievable runway designs. Click here to view more photos from this incredible event.

A giant thanks to Herringtons Lumber who shares AMP’s commitment to reuse and repurpose materials. They helped us load up on donated wood, including dowels, moldings, details pieces, pine planks, and more for our two weeks of Outdoor Design & Growing programs for tweens. A great partnership to save valuable resources and give rejected materials another life 🌎.
