• Robin Emmons - Extraordinary People Changing the Game

  Can someone who loves gardening as a hobby really make an impact? Robin Emmons did so with the help of volunteers and donors who made Sow Much Good grow from a backyard initiative into a community project. Tired of the rat race, Robin quit her job to do some self-searching. After a couple of weeks, she was told of her brother being held in jail for an undiagnosed schizophrenic outburst. Concerned about her brother’s deteriorating health in the mental facility, she volunteered to bring fresh produce from her backyard garden… then realizing that her purpose was just around her—literally.
