George Anne Bedford Garden

The George Anne Bedford Garden is more than just a beautiful outdoor space. It's a sanctuary where men at The Wheelhouse can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and begin the quiet work of healing.

Named in honor of George Anne Bedford, a longtime advocate for men in recovery, this garden embodies her belief in second chances and the transformative power of nature.
