A place to gather

The best of times are when we just gather together in a safe and loving space. Magdalene's Gifts & Gatherings hosts book and bible studies and community meetings. Watch this spring for special family events in the new Beyond the Garden Gate where we will invite local musicians to offer their gifts to patrons and volunteers. Or...just stop by for a cup of coffee or tea. Our volunteers are ALWAYS happy to see you!

The Gardens @ Magdalene's

Emily Peterson, beloved owner of The Garden Gate, whose home used to be on the grounds of Magdalene's Gifts & Gatherings has established demonstration gardens to create a landscape now known as The Gardens @ Magdalene's. Within the gates enclosing the property is a native plant garden and meadow, a pond and bog garden, butterfly garden, vegetable garden and succulent, shade and cut flower gardens. We extend a big THANK YOU to Gulf Breeze Will Do for their generous grant that makes The Gardens @ Magdalene's possible. 

Gifts hand crafted by survivors
