We've missed you in the patch

A lot has changed since you last checked in. Here's what's growing.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
It's been a little quiet from your end -- and that's okay. Life gets busy, winter sets in, and sometimes the garden (and the inbox) takes a back seat.
But we didn't want you to miss out on what's been happening at Grow It Local, because quite a lot has changed since you last stopped by.
Here's what's new:

  • 24 product bundles across 6 categories -- from beginner kits to indoor growing setups, all curated by our experts and dropshipped to your door.
  • Winter seasonal bundles designed for cold-weather growing, so your patch doesn't have to go dormant.
  • Quarterly heirloom seed deliveries with 20 varieties in the Rainbow Range -- delivered to GIL+ members four times a year.
  • New expert content from Costa, Paul West, and the team -- fresh guides, tips, and seasonal advice to keep you growing.
    Whether you're a windowsill grower or you've got a full backyard setup, there's something here for you. And if you've been thinking about giving GIL+ a go, annual plans come with a 30-day free trial.
    We'd love to have you back in the community.

    Happy growing,

It's the perfect time to get back into growing -- here's what we've built for you.

Body

Hey {{first_name}},
Winter is actually one of the best times to start (or restart) growing. The weather's cooler, the soil is workable, and there's a whole range of crops that thrive in the cold months -- herbs, leafy greens, root veg, brassicas.
We've been building out some things at Grow It Local that make getting going even easier:

  • 24 curated product bundles -- everything from a Kitchen Windowsill Bundle ($72.40) for indoor herb growing to a full HydroGarden Bundle ($112.35) for year-round soil-free harvests.
  • Winter Seasonal Bundle -- seeds, tools, and guides picked specifically for cold-weather growing.
  • Expert content from Costa, Paul West, Mel Logozzo, and Hannah Moloney -- new guides and tips landing regularly.
  • Quarterly heirloom seed deliveries for GIL+ members -- 20 varieties from the Rainbow Range, delivered four times a year.
    You don't need a big setup. A pot on the kitchen bench is a real garden. And if you want support, the community is here.
    GIL+ annual plans start at $99/yr with a 30-day free trial. Come have a look.

Hey {{first_name}},
We've got some new things to share -- and we think you'll want to see them.

That's on top of some bigger updates at Grow It Local:

  • 24 product bundles across 6 categories -- curated kits for every type of grower, from beginners to experienced hands.
  • Quarterly heirloom seed deliveries for GIL+ members -- 20 varieties from the Rainbow Range, delivered to your door.
  • A growing community of Aussie gardeners sharing tips, patch pics, and winter recipes.

  • Member discounts on everything in the shop. 15% off at Base and Grower level, 20% off at Pro.

Mid-Year Community Milestones Celebration Post Instagram draft

We're halfway through the year -- and this community has been incredible. πŸ™Œ Here's a mid-year snapshot of what our growers have been up to: Thousands of seeds planted. Hundreds of bundles shipped. Patches big and small, from balcony pots to full backyard plots, all growing something real. But the numbers aren't really the point. It's the shared tips in the comments. The patch pics that inspire someone else to give it a go. The neighbour who started growing because you did. That's what Grow It Local is actually about. To every member, every grower, everyone who's planted something this year -- thank you. You're the reason this works. Tag a grower who's inspired you this year. They deserve a shout-out. πŸ’š

Mid-year check-in: what's growing in your patch right now? 🌱 We love seeing what this community gets up to -- especially in winter, when growing takes a bit more intention and a lot more heart. Some of you are pulling carrots from raised beds. Others are keeping herbs alive on a kitchen windowsill. A few absolute legends are running full hydro setups in their garages. All of it counts. All of it matters. If you've grown something this year -- anything at all -- you're part of something bigger. A community of Australians choosing real food over convenience. Local over imported. Homegrown over store-bought. Drop a photo of your winter patch below. We want to see what's happening out there (or in there, for the indoor growers). πŸ“Έ Link in bio to join the GIL community.

Six months of growing. Here's what we've learnt from this community. πŸ‘‡ 1. You don't need a big garden to grow real food. Some of the best patches we've seen this year are on balconies and windowsills. 2. Winter doesn't slow you down. It just changes what you grow. Kale, silverbeet, herbs, root veg -- cold weather crops are seriously underrated. 3. The best growing advice comes from other growers. The tips shared in this community are worth more than any textbook. 4. Starting is the hardest part. Once you've got one plant going, the rest follows. 5. Food tastes better when you grew it yourself. That's not opinion. That's fact. To everyone who's been part of Grow It Local this year: we see you. We appreciate you. And we can't wait to see what the second half of the year brings. Share your biggest growing win from 2026 so far. We're all ears. 🌿
