A Mum’s Journey to Growing More As a mum of two growing boys in a town where greenery is rare and fresh produce is even harder to find, I began dreaming of a way to give my children something more, more colour, more nature, more connection to where food really comes from. We didn’t have a garden. No allotment. No nearby fields. Just a small flat, two curious boys, and a long for more and to grow our own vegetables. That’s when I discovered the magic of indoor growing.
