🌱 Now Is the Time to Grow Together 🌱

Right now, more than ever, it’s time to collaborate and grow food. Whether you live in an apartment, have a backyard, or just a single bucket, you can grow something.

I’ve been working on several community projects focused on mutual aid and food security, because when we grow food, we grow freedom.

Last week, an incredible partner Wanda Mosley from Black Voters Matter  joined the Legacy Seed Box Program, and now it’s expanding nationwide! 

That means families across the United States will soon be able to receive free garden kits, giving them the power to grow food for their families all year round.

A few years ago, I launched the Lovejoy Library Seed Bank Program, still operating strong today. Anyone in Clayton County with an ID can visit Lovejoy Library and choose from hundreds of varieties of seeds, up to 24 free seed packs each year.

Now, I’m expanding that program to Title 1 schools by installing micro seed banks that teach students and families how to grow nutrient-dense food in just 3–5 days using only water. These will focus on fast-growing crops like popcorn shoots, broccoli sprouts, and more. I need to get food to families QUICKLY, micro seeds is how I'm pivoting. Snap benefits are being cut ✂️ & WE MUST ACT NOW. You don't need money in order to help your communities. Having a heart & will to help are all you need! 

Instead of chasing holiday brand deals, my focus this season is community.

💚 My greenhouse will soon become a Community Garden Hub.
💚 I’m building stationary seed library & food cupboard boxes, painted by hand and available free for pickup.
💚 These cupboards can be placed right in front of your home and stocked by neighbors, because all it takes is one person to start feeding a community.

If you’d like to:
✨ Package garden kits
✨ Grow food for families
✨ Host a community cupboard
✨ Or receive updates on seed boxes, volunteer opportunities, or food distribution

Let’s grow together. 🪴
