- Share your artwork such as a drawing or picture that you have created.
- A poem you have written for comfort or reflection
- An announcement to other Growers about something that others might be interested in hearing from you about
- A personal thank you to someone in Grow
- A friendly Grow gesture or offer to make yourself available for helping anybody who may need a hand, either generally or something specific.eg weed a garden, mow a lawn, trim a hedge, take a meal if sick etc.

“Writing and reading
Decrease our sense of isolation.
They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul.
When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored.
We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again.”
– Anne Lamont, novelist
