Founding Lend and Tend in 2014 was a simple idea— sharing gardens. Now, 10+ years later, this mission has flourished beyond anything I could have imagined! Featured on BBC One Show, Vogue, Homes & Gardens, and more, our garden-sharing community continues to tackle isolation, food insecurity, and access to green space. But there’s still so much more to do. 1000’s of people are waiting for a Patch-Match opportunity, and I want to help ALL of you. That’s where you come in! 🌱 Help us spread the word—every share makes a difference.

And there’s more exciting news—we’re growing! 🌿
📱 A New App is Coming! Beta testing begins in 2025—want to be the first to try it? Let us know!

This journey has been one of patience, persistence, and connection—just like gardening itself. Thank you for being part of it. 💚
