Happy Taurus Season Garden(ers)!
👋 I wanna take a quick sec and introduce myself. My name is Gata (she/they) and I am the newest member of the Garden team.
✏️ I'll be writing our weekly newsletters, keeping you in the loop about fun things happening in Garden, helping with general comms and learning how to build spaces on Garden. I'm super excited to join the team as our Garden Scribe! A little bit about me: I am an Aries, I love making funny memes and reels, I'm always learn new things about astrology, tarot, and cooking. Stop by my desk sometime and hi!
Anyways, if you didn't know, Taurus season just started this weekend. This is a time to step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, rest and treat yourself, you deserve it!🧖
