Okay, family. We need to talk to you about something that is HARD for us.

Asking for money.

We'd rather dig a 50-foot trench in July than ask for money. But we've learned something running a nonprofit: if we don't ask, the work won't happen. Period.

Here's what a lot of folks don't see. We don't have a book to sell. We don't have an expansive merch line. For the most part, We Sow. We Grow. runs on donors, volunteers, and sweat equity. LOTS of sweat equity. Natasha and Shomari's, our family's, and every volunteer who has ever shown up with a shovel or manned a concession stand with us at Soldier Field.

For years we've poured EVERYTHING into teaching y'all how to grow. The workshops, the free classes, the how-tos, the "Natasha, why are my tomatoes doing THAT" answers at 10pm. We've given it freely, and we've loved every minute of it.

But learning information costs. Testing what works in real soil, in real Chicago weather, costs. Learning about other zones and their unique attributes, costs. Finding experts in gardening, costs. Keeping a farm, a market, and community programs running CONSISTENTLY costs. And honestly? Our time and education are worth it.

So our learning modules are moving to their new home: the WSWG Community.

Inside you'll find:
— All of our learning modules in one organized place
— the ability to connect with other growers in your hardiness zone
— exclusive webinars and workshops

$14.99 a month, or $149 for the whole year.

That's about 50 CENTS A DAY for a gardening teacher in your pocket. Go annual and you get more than two months free.

And here's what we really need you to understand: when you join, you're not just buying access. You're giving WSWG steady monthly income, the same kind of support a recurring donor gives. That predictable money is what lets a nonprofit plan, pay for supplies, and keep showing up. Your membership keeps the farm growing, the market open, and the programs running.

The Facebook group is staying open for now. But the deep learning lives in the Community.

Thank you for letting us be honest with you.

Keep Sowing and Growing,
Natasha & Shomari Nicholes

Next Saturday is Tend & Mend, and we want to say something ahead of time.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. That grief is often carried silently — by people who were never asked, or who stopped being asked.

You are welcome here. You have always been welcome here. In October we're saying it out loud.

Saturday, October 3 · 10am–1pm · 11958 S. Union Ave · Free https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1992598497746?aff=oddtdtcreator
