10 BILLION GARDENS
(just starting in 2021)
Everyone on Earth should grow something, even tiny.
It's educational, gives you warm emotions, a bit of exercise,
prevents depression, de-stresses, recycles your food-waste,
feeds more people, saves money, and makes friends.
Another fun Fifteening tool that helps people move more.
10 billion ?
That's the number of people on Earth soon. Let's ALL grow some plants, because growers make Earth chattier, happier, kinder, greener, and more peaceful.
10 billion ? (again !)
That's the number of videos about growing plants that you can find online. That's why we only post if we find some fun new item that we haven't seen before.
Not a grower ? Feel good quick, here's how !
Buy a herb in a pot, or a seedling, or sow seeds in a sunny room. That's it, you're a grower ! It's easy to feel good quick !
Maybe the first ones won't grow, but the next ones will !
Chat with growers worldwide; rich or poor, they're all friendly and socialize easily. 10 billion instant friends !
Some of our quirks. What are yours ?

Message from founder:
Hi, I founded 10 Billion Gardens without knowing why.
I do know that growers are a special part of humanity that's comfortable across all social, national, and racial divides, and friendly and supportive to other humans everywhere.
That's worth tons. Maybe later in 2021 a good "why" will show up lol.
For now, let's just hang out and have fun. Btw we only post new stuff if we never saw it on the internet, so not much.
Cheers,
Mike Harrop
