Education for the win ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ„

Weโ€™re so grateful for all the beautiful folks who joined us for our recent events from Somerville Mushroom Fest to Stoneham Mushroom Walk to Gardening for Empathy to Sow and Share in South Carolina

Thank you especially to our teammates Kym, Derived, Colo, James, and Darren as well as our volunteer friends too like Lily, Saj, and Kymโ€™s son

The only things that can make this world a little brighter are your passion and your actions. Never forget the gentle flutters of a butterflyโ€™s wings create ripples of change echoing to eternity. Likewise what you do for community can move mountains too

Eagles, hawks, and owls across our state are bleeding from their eyes, and hundreds of dogs are being hospitalized every year.

Please use this easy petition to call on our state lawmakers to ban these the neurotoxins being pushed on our communities and call for healthier school lunches for kids:

Express yourself ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŒฟ

Did you know studies consistently show that making art in community achieves sustained benefits for health? On some level that may be obvious, and yet some healthcare systems around the world are now prescribing community art classes (!!)

So listen to your doc (๐Ÿฉบ), or donโ€™t, and join us for an inspiring afternoon with the oh-so-lovely Brenda to make nature-based art ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ

This event is fun for all ages and experience levels

Growing plants grows you ๐Ÿ…๐ŸŒฟ

Food is the medicine we take three times a day. And our soil blesses us with the tens of thousands of edible plants that have nourished our bodies and souls for millennia

In tough times, when food is costly and systems fail, the answer is to come together. And that is why we are honored to be working with our teammate Kym in South Carolina to experiment on how we can start and scale gardening community

Kym was inspired to this work by being left a bit of land after a loved one passed, by helping her familyโ€™s health with herbs, and learning how our ancestors brought sustainability practices across oceans. Together the vision is to get people growing again.

Even if youโ€™re not in South Carolina, please comment why you care about food justice or simply your favorite veggie or fruit ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ„โ€๐ŸŸซ
