In this April episode of The Giving Garden® Podcast, Martina welcomes Sara Stewart RN MSN, board president and executive director of Unity Gardens, for a heartfelt conversation about the power of community-grown nourishment.

Rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food, Unity Gardens has transformed neighborhoods into thriving spaces of connection, dignity, and abundance. Sara shares how these gardens are more than places where food is grown, they are places where relationships are cultivated, knowledge is shared, and communities come together to care for one another.

Together, Martina and Sara explore what it means to give back through the land, how small acts of stewardship can ripple outward, and why growing food can be a deeply human act of generosity. From the impact of accessible gardens to the joy of harvesting something you’ve nurtured, this conversation reminds us that when we care for the earth, we also care for each other.

This episode is an invitation to see every garden, no matter the size, as a space of possibility, where giving takes root, and community flourishes.
