We’re so excited about our latest project: a collection of true, deeply human stories about the moments and memories that unfold in the outdoor spaces we tend, share, and live alongside. It’s a collaboration with ScottsMiracle-Gro, North America’s leading lawn and garden company, whose core belief is that “good can grow anywhere.” As you’ll learn in our series, that means finding family amid sprawling tulip beds, identity on muddy soccer fields, freedom in backyard Wiffle ball championships, community in coastal suburban carnivals, and hope in gardens smack in the heart of the concrete and chaos of NYC. This is an ongoing series, so stay tuned for more stories through the summer and check out our first seven below! We hope you love them as much as we do.
