šŖ“Come to the Garden and meet the Changemakers in our city. Itās more than an event; itās a coming-together of hearts, hands, and purpose. This year, weāre honored to welcome an extraordinary group of partners whose work embodies everything this day stands for: care, connection, and belonging. Meet a few of the beautiful humans joining us.
šJennifer Baker from Cardz For Kidz
Every card they bring is handmade ā small, tender messages of comfort and encouragement created for children and families walking through hospital stays and long recovery journeys. Thereās something quietly powerful about holding a card made just for you by someone who has never met you but wanted you to feel less alone. Thatās the heart of Cardz for Kidz: reminding every child and caregiver that they are seen, they are held, and no one heals in isolation.
šØClarissa Bonilla Founder Goat & Pail | artisanal farm fresh gelato makes food the way it was always meant to be made ā slowly, thoughtfully, and with deep respect for where it comes from. Every pint is handcrafted right on the farm, offering a gentle, nourishing alternative for those with dairy sensitivities. But Goat & Pail is about more than Gelato! Itās about knowing the hands that grow our food, honoring the land that sustains us, and staying rooted in real relationships ā with nature, with our neighbors, and with each other.

Maggie sees beauty in the everyday pulse of the city ā the architecture, the streetscapes, the quiet corners where nature and concrete meet. Through watercolor, she brings urban landscapes to life with a softness that makes you fall for your surroundings all over again. At the garden, sheāll be guiding Relaxation Through Watercoloring ā an unhurried space to breathe, pick up a brush, and let color wash the tension away. No experience needed. Just come as you are, and let yourself soften into the moment.
Come meet the beautiful humans whoāll be tending the garden for all!
