Where the healing starts with soil, sunlight, and a little San Marzano soul.
Tucked outside the emerging villa at Nature’s Path Therapy is a living tribute to Dario’s Italian heritage: Nonna’s Vegetable Garden — a space where heirloom tradition meets modern therapeutic design.
Lovingly curated and grown from seed, the garden features a variety of Italian staples, including:
- San Marzano tomatoes
- Broccoli rabe
- Fresh basil, parsley, oregano, and rosemary
- Seasonal greens and companion plants
These aren’t just crops — they’re connection points. For guests, they offer a sensory-rich experience rooted in warmth, memory, and nourishment. For Dario, it’s a way to bring his roots forward: honoring family legacy, culinary craft, and the powerful role of food in healing.
Whether enjoyed in a shared ritual like Faye’s Toast & Bagels, or as a quiet reminder of what’s growing under the surface — Nonna’s Garden adds life, color, and culture to the therapeutic path we walk together.

Crossing & Carrying – A Healing Series for Immigrants and Their Journeys
Aurora (Giannone) Pellegrin didn’t just grow tomatoes — she cultivated survival. Her journey from Italy to America, like so many immigrant stories, was rooted in grit, grief, and devotion to something better. She carried more than seeds; she carried heritage, hope, and a deep knowing that life in a new land meant building from scratch — often silently.
Her legacy inspired more than just Nonna’s Vegetable Garden. It inspired a healing series.
Crossing & Carrying is for those navigating:
- The emotional toll of displacement and culture loss
- The quiet grief of immigration
- The stress of identity conflict, policy shifts, and survival in systems that weren’t built with you in mind
This 6-part therapeutic journey offers reflective support, narrative space, and culturally aware care for those living between languages, identities, and borders. It’s not just for recent immigrants — it’s for anyone carrying the impact of generational migration.
