In 2020 there were and estimated 16-20 million new gardeners in the US who took up the activity for the first time. We saw an explosive demand for plants and supplies from home-bound residents who wanted to be active outside, grow fresh food and take advantage of time spent at home to work on projects. With all those new gardeners and DIY homeowners, many enjoyed it but weren't necessarily sure what to do or had the skills to be successful.Seeing there was a need on a national level for quality content and information born out of the pandemic, LaManda Joy, owner of City Grange garden centers based in the Chicago suburbs, and founder of the Peterson Garden Project, a non-profit victory garden, rose to the challenge. She and her team put together the Great Grow Along, a virtual learning series.For a one-time fee, people across the country, from all growing zones and garden interests could participate in the live event and ask questions of the well-recognized pool of presenters and experienced horticulturists. It was an excellent series, that provided extended access to recordings which made it a fantastic library of information. In addition to helping beginners with some fresh ideas about the basics of growing, many experienced gardeners found great tips and ideas.LaManda and her team filled the need for great content and delivered it with a first rate experience that could be a recipe for success in future virtual garden events. She is our guest on this episode to provide some insights on the Great Grow Along event, how it all came about and some of the outstanding presenters that made it a success.REGISTER - If you would like to experience the Great Grow Along content, register by 3/31/21 for 6 months unlimited access.CONNECT WITH OUR GUESTLaManda Joy at the City Grange - Twitter, Facebook, InstagramCONNECT WITH USEnjoy this episode or have questions?

For someone new to gardening, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to figure out where to start. There are so many product and plant options available and a wealth of information as well as misinformation online. If there is a way to provide someone with all the skills and knowledge they need to garden successfully, along with all the plants and materials, odds are good, you would have a recipe for success for the novice garden. That's where the new start-up and urban Chicago based, City Grange, has stepped to serve the local communities. Forbes Online covered the City Grange grand opening and wrote, "it is unlike any other garden center, yes they have plants but it’s the environment it is creating, that makes this place more exciting..." It's the flagship location and first of its kind, a garden center, education center and social enterprise all rolled into one. City Grange is owned by LaManda Joy, a local resident who founded the Peterson Garden Project, a victory garden in the Chicago community, nearly a decade ago. She is a creative, and savvy business women and our guest on this #plantchat episode.

During World War II, Chicago led the nation in urban food production with its Victory Gardens program of 1,500 community gardens and more than 250,000 home gardens. The city's North Park neighborhood was also home to the largest Victory Garden in the United States. In fact, the Victory Gardens campaign in Chicago was so successful that it was emulated across the country. Seventy years later, Chicago continues this tradition with an estimated 700 community gardens. In 2010, LaManda Joy launched the Peterson Garden Project, on land that was part of an original World War II Victory Garden from 1942-1945. The Peterson Garden is Chicago's largest community-allotment vegetable garden, with 157 plots tended by community members growing only organic vegetables. Volunteers and students also tend several garden plots and donate their produce to local food pantries and homeless shelters. Speaker Biography: LaManda Joy is an award-winning gardener, blogger and founder of Chicago's Peterson Garden Project.
