I think that community is so important. It’s only in looking back over the past 40 years, that I realise that it was that sense of community, of kinship, that was so often missing. It wasn’t always a community in the traditional sense of a location-based group of people, but a sense that I could share the journey with others. Instagram was the beginning of that journey for me; one which has continued here on Substack, and forever grateful for all the wonderful kindred spirits, including yourself, who have journeyed alongside me 🙏🌿
I can totally relate to this wonderful post about building and fostering an online community. In my professional job, when it was time to find a place to house a community of online gardening students and move that away from Facebook groups, we opted for a platform called Circle that is specifically designed for this very reason. It has turned into such a supportive and non-toxic (i.e. non-social media) space for our folks.
Yes I popped a link in the piece. We are about to start our work enter project and you would be most welcome to join us. Once joined you have access to a huge back catalogue x
It has been and continues to be the most wonderful, creative, seasonal wander with a connected community who are genuinely interested in each other’s journeys ☺️

I think we have walked similar paths except I am 20 years further down the road than you. Keep being you
