International Women's Day

Hey {{first_name}},
This International Women's Day, we're celebrating the women who are shaping how Australia grows food at home.
Mel Logozzo -- fermenting queen and all-round food preserving legend. If you've ever turned a glut of tomatoes into passata that actually tastes better than store-bought, Mel's probably the reason.
Hannah Moloney -- permaculture grower and educator who proves you don't need a massive property to grow a serious amount of food. Her small-space strategies are game-changers for city growers.
Connie Cao -- plant-based cook who turns homegrown produce into meals that make you wonder why you ever bothered with takeaway. Her recipes are a favourite in the GIL community.
Kate Flood -- garden designer who makes productive gardens beautiful. She's proof that growing food and having a gorgeous outdoor space aren't mutually exclusive.
These women (and so many more in our community) are the reason Grow It Local exists.

Hey {{first_name}},
Everyone has someone who taught them to grow. A mum who kept a herb garden by the back door. A nanna who could grow tomatoes in a drought. A friend who said "here, try planting this."
This International Women's Day, we want to hear your story. Who was the woman who got you started?
In our community, we're lucky to have some incredible women leading the way:
Mel Logozzo turns harvests into preserved food that lasts all year. Hannah Moloney proves a small space can feed a family. Connie Cao creates recipes that make you want to run straight from the garden to the kitchen. Kate Flood designs gardens that are as productive as they are beautiful.
But the truth is, the most powerful growing advice usually comes from the women closest to us. The ones who handed us a seedling and said "just give it a go."

Hey {{first_name}},
This International Women's Day, we wanted to do something different. Instead of a general celebration, we're giving you a look at four women who've shaped the way our community grows -- and what you can learn from each of them.
Learn to preserve with Mel Logozzo. Mel's fermenting and preserving guides have helped thousands of GIL members turn a seasonal glut into food that lasts all year.
Grow more in less space with Hannah Moloney. Hannah's permaculture approach proves that a small backyard (or even a balcony) can be seriously productive.
Cook what you grow with Connie Cao. Connie's plant-based recipes are built around seasonal, homegrown produce. Her meal plans are some of the most popular content on GIL.
Design a garden that works with Kate Flood. Kate brings beauty and productivity together -- her approach to garden design means your food garden can look as good as it tastes.
Want to learn from all of them? GIL+ members get access to expert content, growing guides, and quarterly heirloom seeds.

Hey {{first_name}},
It's International Women's Day, and we wanted to shine a light on four women who are shaping how Australia grows.
Mel Logozzo -- horticulturist, educator, and one of the sharpest minds in urban food growing. Mel's practical advice has helped thousands of growers get more from their patch.
Hannah Moloney -- permaculture designer and author who lives and breathes small-space food production. Hannah shows that you don't need acreage to feed your family.
Connie Cao -- food writer, recipe developer, and garden-to-plate advocate. Connie bridges the gap between what you grow and what you eat.
Kate Flood -- sustainability champion and community grower. Kate's work proves that growing food is about connection as much as it is about harvest.
These women are part of the reason GIL exists. They bring knowledge, passion, and a genuine love of helping others get their hands dirty.

Hey {{first_name}},
This International Women's Day, we're not doing a generic celebration. We're introducing you to four women whose knowledge could genuinely transform the way you grow.
Mel Logozzo can teach you how to preserve your harvest so nothing goes to waste. Her fermenting guides are some of the most popular content in GIL.
Hannah Moloney can show you how to grow more food than you thought possible in a small space. Balcony, courtyard, tiny backyard -- she's done it all.
Connie Cao can turn whatever you've just picked into a meal worth sitting down for. Her recipes start in the garden and end at the table.
Kate Flood can help you design a garden that's productive, beautiful, and built to last. Function and form, together.
These women aren't just experts -- they're teachers. And their advice is available to every GIL member.

Hey {{first_name}},
Grow It Local wouldn't exist without the women who helped build it.
Not just Mel, Hannah, Connie, and Kate -- though their expertise is woven through everything we do. We mean the thousands of women in our community who grow food, share knowledge, and lift each other up.
The mums who garden with their kids. The renters who grow herbs on windowsills. The grandmothers passing down seeds and knowledge. The first-timers who asked "can I really do this?" and then proved they could.
This International Women's Day, we want to celebrate all of you.
If there's a woman in your life who inspired you to grow, we'd love to hear about her. Hit reply and tell us her story -- we might feature some of them on our blog this week.
