Spotlight On: Technology and Trailblazers


Speaking of innovation, did you catch our series that premiered last month, TECHNOLOGY AND TRAILBLAZERS? We share groundbreaking ideas and spotlight the people connecting a healthier life with nature in forward-thinking ways.


This is where you come in. Do you have an innovative venture or know someone changing the game in sustainable living? Message us on any of our social media channels and share the project. Catch a new post every Tuesday on Instagram and Facebook!

There’s a special kind of magic in watching something you’ve planted grow, isn't there? That same magic happens when we share our journeys with each other.


We believe every garden has a story, every question holds a lesson, and every new idea can plant a seed for the future. We'd be honored to hear yours.
