👨🏻‍🍳 Chef Matthew Phillip, Executive Chef at Shaughnessy Restaurant, who crafts seasonal menus shaped by the Garden’s changing landscapes and harvests reflecting the close connection between the restaurant and the Garden itself.
🌸 Marilyn Goebel, a dedicated volunteer whose decades of service have made her a living archive of Garden stories, milestones, and community moments.
