Thank You For Helping Us Grow! Teachers play an essential role in the development and growth of our children. They dedicate their time, energy, and passion to ensure every child receives the education and support they need to thrive. We recently filled an order with a heartfelt personal note from the sender to their former teacher. Our team was moved and with permission we are sharing it with you. Dear Ms. Johns, Next week I start my teaching journey with a class of 24 5th graders. I can’t help but think about my time with you as a 5th grader in Virginia. You inspired me, pushed me, guided me, and taught me much more than was in the books we read together as a class. I hope I can impact one of my students as much as you have impacted me throughout my life. It is with gratitude I gift you this desktop garden – I hope everyday it reminds you how much you help hundreds of people grow. Allison Stewart Thank you Allison for letting Gardenuity be part of your classroom and your recognition of a great teacher. Your hard work and commitment have a profound impact on the lives of your students. Every lesson you teach, every word of encouragement you offer, and every challenge you help them overcome contributes to their growth and development. You help them build confidence, foster curiosity, and develop the skills they need to succeed. Thank you for your patience, creativity, and unwavering support. Thank you for staying late to prepare lessons, for finding new ways to engage your students, and for never giving up on them. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we appreciate all the sacrifices you make to ensure that each child has the opportunity to learn and grow. So, to all the teachers who are getting ready to embark on another year- we thank you. The Gardenuity Team

A Place to Grow. A July 4th Letter from our CEO, Donna Letier As we approach the Fourth of July, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this special day and share with you why it is so important for us to celebrate it. Independence Day is not just a date on the calendar; it is a profound reminder of our nation's history, the values we hold dear, and the incredible fortune we have as Americans.   On July 4, 1776, a group of brave individuals came together to declare our independence, laying the foundation for a nation built on the principles of freedom, democracy, and the pursuit of happiness. This day marks the birth of the United States, a country that has grown and evolved through the dedication and hard work of its people.   At Gardenuity, we believe in the power of growth, nurturing, and community – values that resonate deeply with the spirit of Independence Day. Just as we tend to our gardens, fostering their growth with care and attention, we also nurture our communities and our nation. Celebrating July 4th is an opportunity to come together, to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy, and to recognize the diverse contributions that make our country strong and vibrant.   We are incredibly fortunate to live in a country where we have the freedom to express ourselves, to pursue our dreams, and to create a better future for ourselves and our loved ones. The Fourth of July is a time to reflect on these freedoms and to honor the sacrifices made by those who came before us, ensuring that we could live in a land of opportunity.   Yes, we face challenges in our country. There are issues and obstacles that we must confront and overcome. However, taking a moment to reflect on how fortunate we are to be Americans is important. It reminds us of the strength and resilience that define our nation. Throughout history, Americans have grown through challenges, from the fight for independence to the struggles for civil rights, from overcoming economic hardships to leading innovations in science and technology. Each challenge has made us stronger, more united, and more determined to uphold the values of our country.   As we celebrate this Independence Day, let us take a moment to appreciate the beauty of our nation, the strength of our communities, and the potential within each of us to make a positive impact. Whether you're watching fireworks, enjoying a backyard barbecue, or simply spending time with family and friends, remember that we are all part of this incredible American story. I hope amidst all the parades, pool parties, and celebrations, you will take a moment in your garden to yourself, to reflect on what growth means to us as individuals and to the country we call home.   Thank you for being a part of the Gardenuity family. Together, let's celebrate the Fourth of July with gratitude and a renewed commitment to the values that make our country great.   From my garden,   Donna https://lnkd.in/gW4Zxxfb

#TGIF! Just had an incredible catch-up session with one of my favorite business owners in Dallas, Donna Spafford Letier, the visionary behind Gardenuity!
