Grow Together

Hello friend.

My name is Katy. Sometimes Katy Marie. Sometimes KatyBelle. Sometimes Scooter. Depends who you ask.

I consider myself a cultivator. My passion is growing things. I love to grow plants and I love to grow relationships. I can't claim to be great at either at any given time, but I do the most I could ask of anyone- I try.

Which is why I'm here, writing to you. I'm here to share my stories of failures and my stories of triumphs because I believe we can grow together. We learn best from our mistakes, but we also learn from our successes. The minute we stop learning is when we stop growing.

I promise you:

• Honesty

• Stories from growing a business

• Stories from the garden

• Gardening tips

• Answers to your questions

• Pollinator tips

• Guest collaborations (I want to learn from them too!)

• And hopefully, some humor

On my birthday this past summer, I officially started my LLC. (You can read about that here.) I decided to start a blog at the beginning of my business development, when everything was up in the air and still scary. I want to document the journey and also provide transparency. There is going to come a time when I have to come here and write about dumb decisions and what happened. I'm afraid of that. But I'm more afraid of not being accountable and finding a reason to give up. I'm asking for your help.

What can you do?

• Write to me

• Tell me your own stories

• Ask questions

• Remind me that this is my dream

• Encourage me

• Tell me to suck it up

• Be as kind as possible

Mostly that last one. But that's just how I ask you treat everything.

I don't expect perfection, I expect progression. Thanks for joining me.
