US: ILGM launches nation wide home grow tour

I Love Growing Marijuana (ILGM) is hitting the road with its U.S. Home Grow Tour—powered by Leafly. This nationwide event aims to unite cannabis enthusiasts, cultivators, and newcomers through hands-on education and human connection. Traveling to six cities, the tour reflects ILGM's evolution as the 'Home of the Growers,' bringing its passion for cultivation directly to the heart of the community.

"Our recent survey revealed that 48% of home growers view community as essential—not just for learning, but for finding a sense of belonging," said Ernst Rustenhoven, CEO of ILGM. "This insight inspired us to create an immersive in-person experience that goes beyond selling seeds. Our goal is to empower people to cultivate cannabis and build meaningful relationships within the home growing community."
