From Challenge to Community: The Heart Behind Zaxbys Palm Coast
There’s a quiet strength that comes from hardship — the kind that shapes character, sharpens empathy and reminds us what truly matters. For Shannon, co-owner of Zaxbys Palm Coast, that strength was forged early in life and continues to guide every chapter.

The Garden Club at Palm Coast proudly announces Karen and Gary Trainor of Fort Caroline Lane as December 2025 Selection of the Month.
The Trainor’s, formerly from Massachusetts, have been living in Palm Coast since 2002. Gary is a Tooling Design Engineer and works in Ormond.
Karen is an animal behaviorist and has rescued a deaf one-eyed cat teaching him, “Tommy Jack Sparrow” cat sign language!
They were selected for their curb appeal and diversity of plants in their front yard. On the left corner they have a large Australian umbrella tree that can grow up to 50 feet. They had no idea when they brought it down from Massachusetts in a small pot.
They were going for the fire-look when they planted their front garden with a variety of colorful mums, trumpet rose, poinsettias, a variety of crotons. Evening primrose, vincas, Hawaiian Ti, schefflera, firecracker, and sanchezia plants.
There is a column on both ends and the entrance one has beautiful climbing red
Mandeville’s. Behind this garden is their favorite place to sit outside and enjoy their bounty.
Karen has 2 blueberry bushes, 2 pineapples, rosemary, English thyme, parsley, basil, oregano, and kiwi started from seed. On the right side there is a beautiful large plumbago in full bloom, 2 pink crape myrtles, orange hibiscus and several prickly pear cactuses.
We were very fortunate to be able to see their gardens as we just had two nights and days of very cold weather.
Thank you, Karen, for covering them in time for the cold blast!
