The Garden truly feels like a place for everyone—a welcoming space where people from all walks of life can come together. I’m especially drawn to the apple orchard and the way science is used to sustain such agricultural treasures. I also love walking the trails, which offer a restorative reminder to pause and take a breath. As someone new to New England, I am honored to be a part of the Garden’s staff. 

The Garden is more than a place to work—it has been a meaningful way to connect with the landscape, experience the rhythms of nature, and fully appreciate the beauty of this region I now call home. - Becca Darrouzet
