The tables turn!

GrowAbility Co-host Joe flips the script and interviews his colleague Holly Pugsley. Holly shares her journey from a background in fashion and styling to discovering her passion for urban agriculture during COVID-19, which became a sanctuary for her mental health. She explains how her home grow room project evolved into her company "Just Keep Growing."

While initially focusing on microgreens, Holly describes her pivotal discovery of edible flowers, which transformed her approach by adding an aesthetic dimension to her work. She details how growing pansies indoors created a visually stunning experience with multicolored blooms and amazing aromas, connecting her background in fashion with food production. Holly discusses her work overseeing indoor farms at The PATCH, an organization addressing food insecurity, and how their accessible growing systems benefit people with disabilities.

Throughout the conversation, Holly returns to her personal mantra "just keep growing," which represents both her business philosophy and her approach to life's challenges. The episode highlights Holly's mission to create an "ecosystem of positivity" through urban agriculture, edible flowers, and community support, while changing perspectives on food insecurity.

It's a not-to-be-missed opportunity to get to know both our hosts in a whole new way!
