Amy Van Scoik spends all her work hours around plants at Frog Song Organics, the farm she created with her husband, John Bitter.
On a rare Saturday off, Van Scoik didn’t go to the beach or the springs. She went to a plant sale at Grow Hub, a nursery with a mission of cultivating and empowering people with disabilities through growing plants.
“I’m utilizing my one Saturday off ever to come support Grow Hub and buy some flowers in honor of my mom,” Van Scoik said. “We used to go to the nursery and buy plants together.”
Grow Hub is at 2900 NE Eighth Avenue near Loften High School and is getting back to its periodic plant sale events with music and other activities.
