Why they support the Petals Project

Support often becomes meaningful when people step close enough to understand the complexity of the work and the care required to do it well. For Felip and Leah Holbrook, that way of paying attention has long shaped how they show up, both in their professional lives and in the communities they are part of.

Working together in Bershire Hathaway Central Washington real estate, Felip and Leah are known for guiding clients through complex transactions, bringing a steady, people-centered approach to work that requires careful navigation, thoughtful decision-making, and long-term perspective, qualities that naturally extend into how they engage with community projects and partnerships.

At the beginning, Felip and Leah assisted Canyon Blooms with the purchase of a neighboring parcel of land, a process that, like many real estate transactions, carried its share of complications. There were logistical hurdles, moments of uncertainty, and decisions that required patience and care. Throughout it all, Felip and Leah offered their personal and professional guidance and remained engaged beyond what was required.

What made the process resonate more deeply was the land itself. For Felip, whose personal interest in ornithology has shaped how he sees landscapes, the property represented possibility. Canyon Blooms’ desire to maximize ecological potential and thoughtfully transition areas from horticultural use to native vegetation aligned naturally with his own values around habitat, stewardship, and long-term care.

The land was not simply an expansion. It was an opportunity to do things well and do them responsibly.

Seeing that vision up close, and witnessing the care behind the organization’s decisions, led Felip and Leah to become donors.
