Marigolds are a symbol of love and commitment around the world. In India, you’ll often see marigold garlands draped across horses during weddings and religious ceremonies, working animals included in the most important moments of their owners’ lives.

Our hope is that the marigold becomes a symbol of solidarity too. That we believe the lives of working animals have value. That they deserve respect and practical care.
