Meet Mirjam, our Horticulture Lead
Mirjam joined Click & Grow over 5 years ago and recalls the path that led her to the company: "Now when I look back on my childhood, it was only natural for me to become a horticulturist. I grew up in a small village without supermarkets and a reliable supply chain for fresh food. It was quite common back then in the countryside to grow most of the plant-based food on small allotments or kitchen gardens to provide for the family - that was our ultimate supermarket that had everything in stock. Back then, I didn't understand the actual benefits of growing our own produce, and honestly, weeding, watering, or harvesting were not my favorite tasks as a kid. Though, it only made sense to continue my studies and become a professional horticulturist. I still like to mix academic knowledge and common sense that my parents have taught me about plants and gardening, there is always a solution for problems. About five years ago a friend of mine introduced me to Click and Grow and kindly asked me to join the team. Making gardening hassle-free and available for everyone seemed like decent a task to take on, the rest is history."
