Just(Us) Dinner: Rooted: Gardening Workshop
Wednesday, Apr 15, 2026 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM CDT
Growth takes intention. Growth takes tending. Growth takes time.
This April, Just(Us) Dinner invites you into an evening of planting — both in soil and in spirit.
At Seeds + Stories, each guest will receive a seed to plant and take home. As our hands press into soil, we’ll share stories about growth:
What has helped us grow?
What tried to uproot us?
What does tending to ourselves and our communities truly require?
Planting is never passive. It is an act of belief. A declaration that something is worth nurturing.
Over a shared meal from Inspiration Kitchen, we’ll reflect on the parallels between gardens and our lives — the patience, the setbacks, the unseen work beneath the surface, and the quiet miracles that come from consistent care.
You’ll leave with:
🌿 A planted seed to grow at home
🌿 New connections
🌿 Stories rooted in resilience and possibility
Because what we water, grows.
Seats are limited. Join us at the table.
