How Did Room to grow start?
As an adult, I have always had a garden. When social media outlets like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter hit around 2009, I started posting pictures of what I was growing. Initially, I thought people would be bored seeing vegetable garden photos, but surprisingly there was unexpected interest. I was often asked if I could teach people the basics of growing. Most often I heard, “I would love to grow my own food, but I don’t know where to start.” After the requests became so frequent, someone suggested I actually start a business. Room To Grow was born!
As for the name? Well it has multiple meanings. Both personally and botanically…there’s always ROOM TO GROW!
