welcome
To a world where everyone belongs
Inclusion: Accepting, supporting and embracing differences and diversity in a way that clearly shows all individuals are valued, recognized, and accepted for who they truly are. This involves demonstrating respect for the abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, and cultures of those around you and engaging those with diverse perspectives, so that others feel an unconditional sense of belonging for who they are.

Hi I'm Taylor!
I am the Founder/CEO of The Garden Foundation, a nonprofit organization serving adults with disabilities or *different abilities* as we like to say! Allll inspired by my little sister, Lindsay!
The Garden Foundation wanted to find a way to unite the community by celebrating a national/world holiday of Inclusion and guess what.... IT DIDN'T EXIST!
Soooo... you know what we had to do!
The Garden Foundation has proudly founded World Inclusion Day! World Inclusion Day will be celebrated on October 10th and we would LOVE to have YOU a part of a KINDER, MORE INCLUSIVE world!
Inclusion is bigger than just disabilities, it's accepting and celebrating differences of cultures, backgrounds, races, sexes, religions and differences in perspectives.
Although it is a World holi'DAY', we think Inclusion is more of a lifestyle.
Feel free to reach out to me and share your story! I'd love to know what inclusion means to YOU.
I can't wait to meet you!
Peace, Love and Incluson,
-Taylor
