CREATIVE COMMUNITY

creativity is contagious

. . .

Did you know that some plants help each other grow? According to a study by The University of Portsmouth, when you plant compatible plants near each other, they can mutually benefit from each other’s attributes. The study shows that planting different types of plants close to each other can boost growth, repel pests, and even improve the flavor of your harvest. Other benefits include a "positive cascade" of effects in the environment, including supporting insect and soil life, and providing a greater range of fruit types for birds and mammals.

I believe that creative community operates in a similar way. Our shared values bring us together. We come together seeking connection, and we mutually benefit from each other's attributes. Feeling seen, heard, and supported creates a positive cascade, or a ripple effect in the environment, as we go back into the world inspired and overflowing, with a greater range of fruit to offer in all aspects of our lives.
