ILGM and Leafly Launch U.S. Home Grow Tour

I Love Growing Marijuana (ILGM), a prominent figure in the cannabis cultivation sector, is officially kicking off its U.S. Home Grow Tour, a groundbreaking series aimed at bringing together cannabis enthusiasts from coast to coast. This tour, powered by Leafly, aims to provide hands-on education and foster human connections among growers. ILGM is transforming its status as the 'Home of the Growers' by engaging directly with the community across six iconic cities in America.

Ernst Rustenhoven, CEO of ILGM, shared insights from a recent survey indicating that nearly half of home growers believe community is essential—not only for sharing knowledge but also for creating a sense of belonging. This finding motivated ILGM to create an engaging and immersive experience that goes beyond selling seeds. The primary mission of the tour is to empower individuals to delve into cannabis cultivation while establishing meaningful relationships within the home grow community.
