When Michael Moll was a kid growing up in Kenya he was surrounded by gardens, fresh fruits and vegetables. Today with his fiancée, he runs startup MyGreenSpace.co, a gardening app. Millennials are driving the return to urban gardening to the benefit of all ages in terms of well-being and core leadership skills. It is the unusual combination of technology and gardening that is restoring face to face connection with community and getting outdoors.
In this conversation we talk about:
The food supply issues that impact what you’ll find on the shelves,
The interconnectivity of food supply and demand world-wide,
How gardening restores confidence and connection,
The garden as a living system,
How is MyGreenSpace like having a master gardener in your pocket,
What schools with gardening programs seem to be missing,
Why tech is the best connector between gardens and people.
Go to www.mygreenspace.co to download the free IOS and Android app. MyGreenSpace is a digital garden planner and seed shop on a mission to make communities more sustainable and resilient.
