A note from Sebastian,
the founder, president and ED of The Evolved Network
"For those that don’t know my aunt Gwen Barjon passed away on April 22, 2020. As devastating as her loss was the one solace those that loved and knew her found was that she left us on Earth Day. If you knew how she lived you’d understand why this was so fitting. The Evolved Network exists because of the example she set using gardening, technology, science, creativity, sustainability, and her deep connection to the land to open the hearts and minds of so many students she touched. This dinner offers an opportunity to honor her legacy, keeping her name with us. She set a very high standard and we hope we’re living up to it."
