The seed of a ginkgo tree that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima provided to Premier Alliances has has begun to sprout.
Premier Alliances, Inc. is pleased to announce its participation in the Green Legacy Hiroshima Initiative, having been selected to receive the seeds of a ginkgo tree that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima to add to its Founders Garden.
Created in 2011 to promote the resiliency of nature and a message of peace and hope for a world free of nuclear weapons, the Green Legacy Hiroshima Initiative has disbursed to partnering organizations in 40 countries the seeds and saplings of trees that survived the nuclear blast at Hiroshima, known as Hibakujumoku.

Upon learning about the initiative, Premier Alliances saw the project as aligning with the Founders Garden’s own mission of promoting the healing aspects of nature in a secure location for members of our community to enjoy.
With support from local and out-of-state plant professionals, Premier Alliances staff will nurture the seeds until they are ready to be transplanted into the Founders Garden. Until then, the progress of the seeds will be updated on our website for all to follow.
Designed to be accessible to people of all abilities, the Founders Garden allows individuals to engage in various healing activities such as mild physical therapy and exercise, and is open to the public at no cost during business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30am – 4:30pm. The garden is located the Premier Alliances Bisbee Campus, 1556 S. Naco Highway, in Bisbee.
