Gardening to Make a Difference
Our Mission: Gardening to Make a Difference
In 2014, two passionate educators, Cheryl Rehrig and Denise Hoeksema, founded the Inland Bays Garden Center with a simple yet impactful mission: "Gardening to Make a Difference." This mission stems from a deep appreciation for the importance of healthy gardens in restoring and nurturing both the environment and local ecosystems.
