Hey there!

Talking with some friends, I’ve noticed how many people are missing real community and face-to-face connection. And one thing that seems to genuinely bring people together is gardening! Some folks have extra yard space they barely use, while others would love to grow food but live in apartments or don’t have land.

That's why I started a project that matches these two parties  It's free. You fill out a short form, I personally review your profile, and when there's a match nearby, I make the introduction. You work out your own arrangement from there: harvest sharing, work trade, whatever makes sense.

If you know someone who's been looking for a garden plot or has unused land, point them to:

Its a great idea to create a platform for this to match people!  I know some people do this with their neighbours and friends but I love that you've created something to connect people who may not know each other yet!
 
Sure, he can talk to fish, but don't ask him what they say. You're better off reading a tiny ad:
It's a bit like "run away to the circus" but with gardening
