Inflation is on the rise, home prices are sky-high, and the echoes of economic uncertainty are louder than ever. You don’t need us to remind you of the challenges every homeowner and DIY enthusiast faces today. With everything costing more and the pressure to make your living space functional and beautiful, it seems like the walls are closing in from every direction.
Fred Rogers, the beloved TV host, once shared wisdom from his mother, saying, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” In today’s world, filled with so much noise and strife, where are these helpers? They are your next-door neighbor who lends you a tool, a family member who shares a home repair tip, and communities online where creativity blossoms.
That’s where we come in.

Olu started his first home garden at the age of 12. His grandmother taught him how to plant vegetables and decorative plants to create a beautiful garden.
