Inspiring Conversations That Fuel Our Mission

We’re still buzzing from an incredible conversation with Dr. John October – a true champion for horticulture and sustainable change. It’s not every day that you meet someone whose passion aligns so deeply with your own. Dr. October not only shares our vision for using gardens as tools for healing, learning, and transformation, but wholeheartedly supports the work we’re doing through uKwandaGro.

We need more voices like his, more collaboration, and more shared purpose.
