10 Years+ and Growing
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!
✨ Bigger Impact Ahead! We’re working on new community collaborations, food-growing initiatives, and biodiversity projects.
This journey has been one of patience, persistence, and connection—just like gardening itself. Thank you for being part of it. 💚
