#MoCoGrows

Hey 3H & #mocogrows Fam! I know your timeline is flooded with #givingtuesday posts right now. We tried to wait a bit until the traffic died down 🥴, but honestly, this can’t wait. 😅 First I want to thank all of you for the support you&rs
Last year our dear friend @sewingwithcj refused to get growing because she was afraid it was going to be too much work. We bullied her (dropped plants at her door) because we knew she wouldn’t let things die (bless her heart). This year she too
Just a reminder. Head over and take a look. As always. Everything is free. :)
Thank you for the update @tiffaknot ! Remember to send your progress to us, @ us and is the #mocogrows hashtag. HAPPY SUNDAY!!

    The best way to describe day three is….bittersweet. Our closing Keynote, Heather Bruskin gave us the knowledge we need to move forward in our fight against food insecurity and we had a movie morning :)
