🎙 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 🌳🥭🍊
He has taught thousands to grow food, save seeds, and rebuild their connection to the earth 🌎💧

His question changes everything:
“What if there was a garden and fruit tree in every yard?” 🍎🌳✨

Today we talk soil, seeds, identity, and why growing food might just be the most hopeful thing you can do.
