My Grandmama’s Legacy Now Has A Logo🫶🏾
My grandmother taught me to grow things. I created a program to share her knowledge with others. My grandmother will be 90 years young this June. I’m so excited that she gets to see the fruits of the seeds she’s sown being shared broadly. Yesterday I shared this logo with her and she began to cry. 🫶🏾 I’m sharing the official flyer today with a QR code to register. Please share and join us if you’re interested in having FREE access to fruits and vegetables for and/or being able to confidently know you can trust the food you’re eating. #growwhatyoueat #legacybuilders
Growing up, my grandmother’s garden was more than just a backyard—it was a place of learning, love, and legacy. The program I created, Mae's Garden Project, is a tribute to her nurturing spirit and decades of gardening knowledge. Seeing her reaction to the official logo was incredibly moving; it felt like the seeds she planted throughout her life were finally blossoming into something bigger than just a garden. This program not only aims to provide free access to fresh fruits and vegetables but also empowers participants to build confidence in the food they consume. In today’s world, where food supply chains can be complex and food safety is a common concern, knowing you can trust your food source is invaluable. By teaching gardening skills and promoting local growing, Mae's Garden Project helps reduce reliance on uncertain external sources and promotes healthier, self-reliant communities. If you ever get the chance to join a community gardening initiative or start your own, it’s deeply rewarding. You’ll not only improve your diet but also build connections with people who share your passion for sustainability and healthy living. The process of nurturing seeds into edible plants teaches patience and perseverance—qualities my grandmother embodied. For anyone interested, the project flyer includes a QR code for easy registration. Sharing this with your network is encouraged because the more people who grow their own food, the stronger and healthier the community becomes. This legacy is not just about gardening; it’s about preserving culture, sharing wisdom, and creating a future where fresh, trustworthy food is accessible to all.
