In March of 2020 – you know, one of the most terrifying months on record – Jennymarie Jemison sought to soothe her own nerves while also creating some much-needed positivity and human/Earth connection during the long monotony of quarantine and shelter-in-place orders. So, she launched an offshoot of her gardening website Joy Max Jardín to help folks in need of mental health-boosting nature photos and gardening pro-tips. The Stay Home Garden Club offers friendly information for all types of gardeners about flowers and food crops, container gardening how-tos, critter and soil knowledge, and seed options. With Texas opening back up, and the sunshine months upon us, Jemison and her growing online community are still going strong, one rainbow-soaked seedling at a time.
