Gratitude Gardens is the culmination of multiple passions intersecting to provide a forward thinking company destined to be a force for good in the community

The Gratitude Gardens Journey

Pursuing my passion - my various passions - and merging them into one meaningful endeavor.

Before entering the cannabis industry, my professional experience was solely within non-profit organizations. My academic background and expertise revolved around wellness and disease prevention and helping others.

Growing up, my family didn't have it all, but my hardworking parents made sure we had everything we needed.

Gratitude.

My father worked multiple jobs to support our family, allowing my mother to stay home and care for my brother and me.

Despite our modest means, we always found ways to give back. Generosity was ingrained in our family - whether through church donations, charitable contributions, or my mother's dedication to volunteering. She tutored students at my school, introduced me to Volunteers of America at a young age, and set a powerful example. Helping others in need was a fundamental value.

After my father's passing, I heard inspiring stories of his discreet acts of kindness - offering time, money, or essentials to those in need, with the condition of anonymity. Known as Grump, he was a tradesman with a rugged exterior but a heart of gold. The true test of character lies in helping those who cannot reciprocate.

My goal in building this brand is not merely financial gain, but to cultivate true wealth. Time. Money is not the end objective; I seek only what is necessary to sustain myself. Time and supporting others are my priorities. The ability to do this along with my daughter and set the same examples for her. The vision is to create a brand that not only gives back to the community but also offers fulfilling careers to individuals who share similar passion and determination. The ability to create a community for people to connect and grow together.

We are a brand driven by social impact. Our profit-sharing model aims to establish community gardens in areas lacking communal spaces - a sanctuary for neighbors to come together, cultivate gratitude, and nurture their own sustenance and beauty.

Join us in our mission to spread kindness and be a positive influence. While we are starting within our local region, the spirit of gratitude transcends boundaries and can benefit all.
