Carla was born and raised in Salem Oregon and moved to Sheridan to retire with her husband Paul. At Jacksons's Garden, Carla indulges her love for flower gardening on a much larger scale! Les and Betty Jackson worked side by side to create this beautiful space. She is committed to helping Les and Betty's legacy to live on by keeping the garden open for all to enjoy. 

More to come :)

Nancy was a military brat, so there is no "hometown", and then she married a Marine - more moving around. She and her husband Bill raised their kids in Texas, and as soon as they all graduated from high school, they down-sized and moved into a tiny apartment in New York City. Not being able to afford that for long, they moved across the Hudson River to New Jersey.  Finally, Nancy and Bill got tired of the rat race and the traffic and moved to Sheridan where she worked for the last 8 years at the Twin Bridges School. She is now enjoying retirement after being a high school science teacher for 33 years, and is trying to use what she taught in her biology classes in Jackson's Gardens. 

Paulette has been apart of Jackson's Garden since it's beginning! She has been gardening all of her life, starting with her family farm in Iowa, raising everything from hay, oats and corn, to chickens, sheep, cattle, pigs and more!  She believes the garden is a wonderful safe community space to explore, and is so happy to be apart of it.
