A garden for every
retired teacher who
taught us how.
Raised-bed gardens, free installation by Dunbar student athletes, and a season of support — built in honor of Shandon's godmother, Jackie Mack.
For Jackie Mack.
Jackie is Shandon's godmother — a teacher, a gardener, and the woman who showed him that food grown with love tastes different. The Association is her name on every bed, every harvest, every Saturday spent building one more garden in Dunbar.
Four steps. One finished garden.
Retired teachers in Lee County submit a short application.
Dunbar student athletes and our crew install the bed at no cost.
We plant a starter set of seedlings tuned for Florida's Zone 10.
Lifetime support from Shandon, plus seasonal check-ins.
One for you. One for a retired teacher.
Each purchase covers 2 beds — one for the current teacher buying it, and one donated to a retired teacher in the Dunbar community at no cost to them.
