HeartKids is proud to announce Nathan Stafford, the creator and community force behind Nathan’s Lawns and Gardens, as our newest HeartKids Ambassador.
Known for his generosity, positivity, and commitment to giving back, Nathan has built a large following of 11 million people worldwide through his engaging social media presence, transforming gardens, and lives, through acts of kindness. Now, he is turning his passion for helping others toward supporting families impacted by childhood-onset heart disease (CoHD).
As a Heart Dad himself, Nathan’s connection to HeartKids is deeply personal. His son, Benji, was born with Pulmonary Valve Stenosis and underwent open-heart surgery on the day he was born. After time in intensive care, Benji has had a positive recovery and continues to thrive. He will require further open-heart surgery and a replacement valve in the future, and HeartKids will be there to support Nathan’s family through this period.
“Being an ambassador for HeartKids means so much to me. My son Benji had open-heart surgery on his very first day of life, so I know firsthand how much congenital heart disease can affect families. I’m proud to help raise awareness and be part of a community that offers support to everyone impacted by CoHD,”
– Nathan Stafford, Nathan’s Lawns and Gardens.
Nathan is donating $2 from every order and a portion of proceeds from his first children’s book The Adventures of Nathan’s Lawns and Gardens: The Haunted Jungle to HeartKids, helping to ensure more families can access trusted information, practical support, and community connection when they need it most.
HeartKids CEO Marcus Sandmann said Nathan’s lived experience and generosity reflect the core of HeartKids values.
“Nathan’s openness in sharing his family’s journey, and his drive to give back, embodies what HeartKids is all about: community, kindness, and impact. We’re honoured to welcome him as an ambassador and grateful for the awareness and support he brings to the 250,000 Australians living with childhood-onset heart disease.”
– Marcus Sandmann, HeartKids CEO
As a HeartKids Ambassador, Nathan will help raise awareness of childhood-onset heart disease and join HeartKids events and campaigns across the year.
From all of us at HeartKids, we extend our warmest thanks to Nathan and Nathan’s Lawns and Gardens for helping make a difference in the lives of so many families across Australia.
