| 0:07.2 | Growing Joy, The Plant Lover's Guide to Cultivating Happiness and Plants. |
| 0:12.0 | Thank you so much for your warm responses about the |
| 0:15.0 | announcement last week. I am just so excited to bring this book to you. I've been |
| 0:21.0 | working on it for almost two years now. It is truly my love letter to the journey that I but we as a community have been on through learning how to care for plants successfully and using them to grow moments of joy, calm and connection in our lives. For me, |
