That's right.
3:06
Yeah.
3:07
Across all the spectrums of life.
3:09
Because a lot of people try to solve a specific problem or a pain point, but then those things don't take into consideration the rest of your life.
3:18
The very real struggles and energy drains that happen when you're just a human on this planet.
3:24
You don't have to be a mom.
3:25
You don't have to be a parent.

And do you think that is a big bottleneck on the industry today?
HollyHOST

So how did you get into gardening, especially vegetable gardening?
4:25
So for me, it was out...
4:27
I, I never grew up a gardener.
4:28
I was never taught how to garden from my mother, grandmother, or grandparents.
4:32
Um, I became...
4:35
I was working in, uh, in a marketing job in an ad agency, and I went traveling, and when I came back, I had caught something and I got really sick, and I was in bed for almost two years.
4:46
Um, and so I was quite, um, unwell, and if you imagine sleeping for two years or being in be- bedridden for two years, your body becomes weak, your mind becomes weak.

Do you have any like advice on how people can look for these?
27:31
Yeah, you know, you listed a bunch of them too when we were talking earlier, even from like local seed libraries and using your library, there are so many resources.
27:40
So I do have an entire chapter dedicated to this.
27:45
And the reason why is because a lot of them are local and small.
27:48
And so all I have in the chapter is not all the list of the places around the world that you can find.
27:54
It's how to do the hunting.
27:55
It's how to find these organizations.

yeah, so buy nothing groups or local neighborhood groups, like Nextdoor, there's Bunz, which is... specifically for plant sharing.
26:30
So it's like a community chat group where people give away plant cuttings.
26:34
And I think it started with...
26:36
No, I've never heard of that.
26:37
Is it an app? It's not an app.
26:39
Well, I don't know.
