Happy First Day of Spring! 💚🌱 When it comes to gardening, sometimes waiting is the hardest part. From persnickety peppers to temperamental tomatoes, our indoor starts simply aren’t ready to hit the ground running just yet - that’s where peas come in! Peppy peas are ready to snap to it right now, so let’s celebrate with a little diggin’ in the dirt! 🫛🫛🫛

Happy National Pierogi Day! 🥟 Y’know, our favorite motto is ‘Motown is Gro-Town’ - why? Because growing and learning is part of everything we do – in gardens AND communities! We are so grateful to Hamtramck’s Gwiazda Dancers for sharing their sparkle and talent with Gro-Town for our famous ‘Pierogi’ song! Enjoy - and keep growin’! 🎶🌱💚
