Meet the Team Profile: An Exclusive Interview with Cait Dunn
In the heart of Texas, Cait Dunn, a former Division I athlete and marketing professional, has found a unique way to combine her passions for wellness, business, and community engagement.

Since her arrival at Gardenuity, Cait has been an ardent advocate for the company's container gardens. She spends every day tending to her garden and finds it to be a rewarding way to bond with her two young sons.
