DIGG Gardens - Part 3: Come On In. You're Welcome Here.
Manage episode 503154046 series 3656350
Ever wonder what makes a community so special? Spencer from DIGG Gardens reveals the magic of Vero Beach in this conversation that goes far beyond plants and gardening.
Spencer paints a vivid picture of Vero's unique character. In this place, you might find a Ferrari at one stoplight and a lifted beat-up pickup truck at another, creating a charming juxtaposition that somehow works perfectly. Having moved here in 1998, he's discovered that "the longer you live here, the smaller town it gets," despite the area's growth.
The episode captures those magical small-town connections that seem to happen constantly in Vero Beach. Spencer shares a touching story about a customer who, by pure chance, turned out to be his mother's long-lost high school friend, the kind of serendipitous encounter that happens regularly here. These connections create the fabric of community that makes newcomers feel instantly welcomed.
Beyond the garden center, DIGG Gardens has evolved into a community hub hosting quarterly events including Spencer's birthday bash with live music and barbecue, and their popular "Third Thursday" happy hours during season. These gatherings were intentionally created as judgment-free zones where newcomers can meet others with similar interests around bonfires, potluck dinners, and local music.
As Spencer says, "Plants are supposed to be fun," a philosophy that extends to how DIGG Gardens approaches community building. His simple invitation to those who haven't visited yet, "Come on in. You're welcome." captures the welcoming spirit that makes Vero Beach feel like home.
