This week we're really focusing on the third pillar of our mission: Grow Community. COVID has made community building much tougher than it's been in the past, but it doesn't make it any less important, which is why we're doubling down on our commitment to provide more opportunities for our Growers to network, get to know each other, and spark some creative inspiration.
On Tuesday, we're hosting our kick-off call with the Atlanta Metro chapter of the #GreenHive, which is the perfect chance for you and your eco-conscious teen to learn how you can get involved and start reshaping your community.
Then on Thursday we're having a special open enrollment Grow, Don't Mow event for landscapers. In this free hour long course, we'll be dropping some knowledge about marketing and managing your landscaping business, and following up with a Q&A about the brass tacks of running a business.
This is just the beginning. We're going to be hosting more of these types of events every week, so if there's a topic you'd like to see discussed, feel free to reach out to us and let us know.
Now, here are this week's links!

Biden’s Civilian Climate Corps comes straight out of the New Deal.
