Coordinating a collaboration with Menlo Park and Kurapia

Dear hard working City Council officers of Menlo Park


My name is Lawrence Ziese, Senior Manager at Kurapia, Inc., and I’m reaching out to introduce a unique collaboration opportunity for your agency.



Kurapia is a leading provider of sustainable, low-maintenance groundcover solutions. You may already be familiar with our work, as Kurapia has been installed in public and private landscapes across the country. To support education, transparency, and accessibility, we launched our City Trials Program, which provides municipal agencies the opportunity to install, evaluate, and publicly showcase our Kurapia plug products—at no cost.



As interest in Kurapia continues to grow in your region, we’ve received a significant number of inquiries from customers who would like to see the product firsthand. In response, we are selectively partnering with trusted public agencies to establish local viewing sites.



Program Overview:



We are offering a donation of up to four (4) flats of Kurapia plugs—available in New White, Pink, or a combination of both—to qualifying municipalities. This is more than a product donation: we provide full support to ensure successful establishment and serve as a resource throughout the life of the installation.



Participation Requirements:

Public Access: The installation site must be at a publicly accessible location where we can direct visitors.

Site Maintenance: Your team will handle installation and routine maintenance.

Ongoing Support: Our team will be available for questions and technical guidance throughout the process.

Visibility: We kindly request permission to visit the site and document progress through photos.



We suggest planting each Kurapia variety at a separate location if a mixed donation is selected, to better highlight their distinct characteristics.



If this opportunity aligns with your current landscape initiatives or public outreach efforts, I would be happy to discuss next steps.



Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of working together to make sustainable landscaping more accessible to your community.



Warm regards,

Lawrence Ziese
