Has anyone else thought about how gardening might be the best dating filter that nobody's using?

Forget personality quizzes and curated photos. Show me someone who gets excited about their soil amendment schedule. Someone who shows up on a rainy Saturday anyway because the beds need turning. That person already has the values I care about most.

I keep daydreaming about something like a Tinder for gardeners. Not even necessarily a dating app, just something that matches people who want to grow food with people who have land to offer, and then lets whatever happens happen naturally. Shared mornings outside, shared harvests, shared purpose... that's already a better foundation than anything I've found on Hinge.

Has anyone actually met someone meaningful this way? Or felt like that kind of connection is just... missing from how we meet people now?

Tinder for gardeners, wasn't that WWOOF? Joke. Although i had a friend that used it that way.
Maybe people should just meet up more and get a real life vibe instead of scrolling for looks.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
