We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Taylor Dave & Dawn Davis. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Taylor Dave & Dawn Davis below.
Alright, Taylor Dave & Dawn Davis thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you take vacations? Why or why not?
In the arid embrace of Arizona’s scorching summers, Gardens & Graze navigates the unique rhythm of a desert locale. The sweltering heat prompts many residents to seek cooler temperatures elsewhere, leading to a temporary slowdown in business. As this is our first summer together, we strategically staggered our vacations, ensuring that one of us held the fort while the other embraced a well-deserved break.
Amidst strategic planning, we discovered the importance of balance. Escaping the heat, even for a fleeting weekend, is essential for rejuvenation. These respites not only allow us to recharge but also bring fresh perspectives back to our creative process. We have learned that even in the midst of business ebbs, finding moments to pause and wander was crucial to our growth.
Our journey through the desert summer underscores a universal truth – while the scorching sun may impose pauses, they’re golden opportunities to nurture creativity, strategize for the future, and return with newfound vitality. As the summer comes to a close and the promise of autumn beckons, we emerge ready to embrace the season ahead, our souls ready to take on what is to come next!

Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
In the grand tapestry of life, we stand firm in our belief that every thread has its purpose. Our story might have begun with a seemingly ordinary meeting, crossing paths as early residents in a burgeoning apartment building. A game night, hosted by the complex, brought us together initially. But, as fate would have it, destiny had more intricate plans in store.
Fast forward a few moons, and we find ourselves knee-deep in a baby shower extravaganza. The community rallied, and Dawn’s call for backup caught Taylor’s attention. Who would’ve thought that a baby shower could be the spark for something extraordinary? Dawn curated individual charcuterie cones and delectable treats, while Taylor adorned the space with her flower power.
Reflecting on that pivotal moment, a simple utterance resonates like a prophecy. “You’re going to be my business partner one day,” Dawn declared as Taylor walked into the clubhouse, flowers in hand. Back then, it was a whimsical notion, a playful jest. Little did they know, that very declaration would set the wheels in motion for Gardens & Graze.
After the baby shower, our paths kept crossing. Dawn would give us these little nudges, urging us to talk shop. And then, one day, we found ourselves at our local hangout, just shooting the breeze. Maybe it was the atmosphere, or maybe it was just fate finally tapping us on the shoulder, but there, over drinks, it hit us – why not team up and make something incredible happen?
We had our lightbulb moment, and from then on, it was like fireworks in the making. In less than a year, we went from “Hey, nice to meet you” to “Let’s do this!” Gardens & Graze came to life in just six whirlwind months. Who would’ve thought a simple baby shower would lead to something so electric? It’s proof that destiny has a knack for surprising us, weaving its threads through the everyday and turning them into the stuff of dreams.
