Our values

Supporting local business

We take the concept of buying locally to heart and are committed to supporting local, family-run farms and greenhouses– some of which grow solely for us.

Caring for our community

Nestled at the border of Edgewater and Andersonville, we are firmly committed to supporting our community. We do this every day by creating quality jobs for our local residents, through street beautification projects, and by hosting free holiday celebrations. We are just bursting with neighborhood pride and are thrilled that Gethsemane brings so many of you to our “neck of the woods” to see firsthand just what a wonderful and vibrant part of the city we inhabit.
