Set within the natural landscape of the Presidio, the Garden is a contemplative outdoor installation that honors the lives of women and children lost to violence. Designed as a space for reflection and renewal, it invites visitors to move slowly through nature, engaging the senses and connecting with rituals of healing drawn from diverse cultural traditions.

The Garden isn’t about creating something new, but about listening to what’s already here: to the land, to the stories of those we’ve lost, and to the possibility of healing together.

A quiet counterpart to the Museum’s call for change, the Garden offers a path toward restoration—an opportunity to honor loss, reflect on resilience, and imagine collective healing.

Anthony Shetler

Anthony Shetler is a professional skateboarder, entrepreneur, and community advocate hailing
from the New Bedford/Taunton area in Massachusetts. Born in 1982, he came up skating in difficult circumstances—after his father was killed, and while his mother struggled with addiction, he spent years moving between shelters and the projects. Skateboarding became both a passion and a lifeline for him—that drive eventually led to being sponsored by major brands like Birdhouse, World Industries, Zoo York, 5Boro, and others.

Over time, Shetler built his own company, All I Need Skate & Apparel (short “All I Need”), through which he creates skateboarding content (videos, podcasts), holds events (like his New England Am contest), and works to support amateur skaters. His personal philosophy emphasizes resilience, community, and the belief that skateboarding is more than sport—it’s therapy, identity, and a tool for social uplift. Shetler remains active in skating, in running his brand, and in mentoring young skaters, staying true to the idea that “inches add up.”
