Cozy Creations
Sam is a 5th grader at Cleveland Elementary and joined Loveworks Afterschool Leadership last august. After living in the country and gardening with his family, he immediately connected with the Real Garden team, harvesting and pickling produce from the Loveworks garden. Selling the produce at the Farmer’s Market on Saturdays has been a confidence builder. Being around the other Loveworks students, Sam became inspired to start his own micro-business with the Business Boot-Up program. With the colder weather limiting gardening, he will be selling his homemade hot-packs at the Loveworks Winter Marketplace and Festival.
