🎙 Plant & Grow 🌱
🍁🌱 A Thanksgiving Seed
Thanksgiving isn’t just about full plates 🦃🍽️
it’s about roots the kind we grow on purpose 🌾
The soil remembers every hand that turned it 🤲
every hope tucked beneath chilly November ground 🍂
Some seasons feed us 🥕
Some seasons stretch us 🌿
And hunger?
It’s not always a rumble in the stomach
sometimes it’s the deep ache to become
who we’re meant to be 🌱✨
In backyards and borrowed plots 🏙️🪴
growth insists on showing up
even where concrete thought it had the last word.
One seed can feed a home 🌰🏡
One tree can shade generations 🌳👨👩👧👦
And one hungry heart
can shift a broken system,
starting right where it stands 💪🌍
So this Thanksgiving 🍁
as we pass the mashed potatoes and gratitude 🥔❤️
may we plant new stories too
for the selves we’re becoming
and the gardens waiting to rise 🌷🙌
👣 Guest Introduction:
Meet Greg Peterson The Urban Farmer 🌿🏡
For over 32 years, Greg turned a simple quarter-acre yard in Phoenix into a flourishing food forest 🌳🥭🍊
