Gratitude Gardens

GROWTH & GRATITUDE

It takes two flints to make a fire

Gratitude Gardens was lovingly created in honor of its visionary founder, Donna Stedman, whose passion for nature and community laid the groundwork for this inspiring project.

Our vision includes a flourishing vegetable garden that would nourish the body and spirit, fostering a sense of community and connection among all who partake in its bounty. Veterans and Retired First Responders can leave a legacy that continues to guide the garden’s development, inspiring each new seed planted and every vibrant bloom.

Our dream of a thriving, serene space remains at the heart of Gratitude Gardens, inviting all to share in its promise of growth, gratitude, and greatness.
