Introducing Episode 2 of Come Grow With Me šæ
In this conversation, Donna sits down with award-winning journalist @kelseykernstine KelseyKernstine to talk about what it means to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and create small rituals that help you feel grounded again.
While planting a Cheers Garden together, they talk about intense careers, life transitions, wellness, marriage, and why sometimes the simplest thingsāfresh herbs, evening tea, time outsideācan help bring us back to ourselves.
Because growth is not always about doing more.
Sometimes itās about creating space to breathe.

Parsley might be one of the most underrated plants in the garden. šæ
It grows beautifully in small spaces, keeps producing throughout the season, and somehow makes almost every meal feel fresher the moment you harvest it.
One of the best things about parsley is that it does not ask for perfection. Give it sunlight, keep the soil evenly moist, harvest the outer stems first, and it will keep growing right alongside your routine.
From chimichurri to fish tacos to finishing your favorite summer dishes, this is the kind of plant that reminds you how useful a simple garden can really be.
And yesā¦ even with airplanes overhead, balconies, patios, and busy schedules, it still grows beautifully. šŖ“

Most workdays move fast.
Tabs open. Notifications nonstop. Meetings stacked back to back.
And somewhere in the middle of all of it, a little bit of green can change the feeling of a space more than people expect.
This Mental Health Month, weāve been thinking a lot about the environments we spend our time in and how small things can help us feel more grounded during the day. A plant on a desk. Stepping away from a screen for five minutes. Taking care of something living, even in the middle of a busy week.
Not because plants magically fix stress. But because slowing down, even briefly, matters.
Sometimes wellness at work doesnāt start with a big initiative. Sometimes it starts with creating spaces that feel a little more human. šæ

Motherās Day looks different for everyone.
For some, itās breakfast in bed and little hands picking flowers from the garden. For others, itās a phone call, a memory, a quiet moment, or simply getting through the day.
But one thing remains true, mothers help things grow.
Not just gardens, but people. Traditions. Comfort. Confidence. Home.
This Motherās Day, weāre celebrating the women who show up in a thousand different ways, with care, patience, resilience, and love that often goes unnoticed in the everyday moments.
And maybe thatās why gardening feels so connected to motherhood.
Both require time, attention, hope, and the belief that what you nurture today will bloom later.
Happy Motherās Day to every mom, grandmother, stepmom, mother figure, and caregiver. Thank you for all the ways you help life grow š§”

š¶ļøš± Ready to harvest your jalapeƱos? Here are 3 quick tips:
1ļøā£ Tip one: Donāt pullāsnip.
Use clean garden scissors or pruners and cut the stem just above the pepper. Pulling can damage the plant.
2ļøā£ Tip two: Harvest in the morning.
Peppers are firmer, more hydrated, and less stressed before the heat of the day.
3ļøā£ Tip three: Pick often.
The more jalapeƱos you harvest, the more energy your plant puts into producing new peppers.
š And Grow Pro Tip:
Watch your hands. JalapeƱo oils stick aroundāso wash up before touching your face.

The one garden guest you should NEVER get rid of
A garden guest you want to keep: lizards.
If you see lizards moving through your garden, take it as a good sign.
Lizards are one of natureās built-in garden helpers, feeding on unwanted pests like mosquitoes, aphids, ants, flies, and small beetles.
That means healthier plants and fewer pestsānaturally.
Theyāre also a sign that your garden is doing what gardens are meant to do: creating life, balance, and biodiversity.
Sometimes the smallest visitors are doing some of the biggest work.
š¦ Natural pest control
š¦ Supports biodiversity
š¦ A healthy sign your garden is thriving

Teacher appreciation, made simple šø
This time of year, weāre all thinking about the people who give so much every single day. And sometimes, the best gift is something that asks nothing in return.
These waxed amaryllis bulbs are just that, no watering, no maintenance. Just something beautiful they can keep on their desk and watch bloom.
If youāre in the DallasāFort Worth area and looking for a thoughtful teacher or end-of-year gift, you can stop by and pick one (or a few) up.

Something is growing across America š±šŗšø
On May 14, weāre joining people from coast to coast for a virtual garden party thatās about more than planting herbs and peppers. Itās about slowing down for an hour, doing something with your hands, and growing alongside a community of people doing the same thing at home.
š± Your garden kit arrives at your door.
š± We plant together live.
š± And by summer, you could be harvesting fresh herbs and vegetables from your own porch or patio.
š± No experience needed. Just show up and grow with us.
Hosted by @gardenuity and @greatamericanfamily@greatamericanpureflix

Happy Cinco de Mayo š®šæš
If youāre celebrating today, this is your sign to keep it simple, fresh, and actually worth making at home.
From guacamole with fresh cilantro to spicy salsa + queso, and margaritas made with real ingredients (not just mixes), these are the kind of recipes that turn a regular dinner into something people remember.
What makes them better isnāt just the flavor ā itās using ingredients that feel fresh, balanced, and easy to put together. A handful of herbs, a squeeze of lime, a little heatā¦ it all adds up.
And if you have herbs growing at home, even better. This is exactly the kind of moment theyāre for.
Save this for tonight, pick your favorite, and make it your own.
