4. Community Guidelines
Mini & Me Garden Skool Community | Effective: May 11, 2026
Welcome to Our Garden
The Mini & Me Garden Skool community is a shared space for caregivers who are walking this path together. It is rooted in the same values that run through everything we do: real growth, gentle structure, grace, mindfulness, and calm guidance. We want this to feel like a safe, warm, judgment-free space where families can show up exactly as they are.
By joining and participating in our community, you agree to uphold the values and standards
described in these guidelines.
Our Core Values in This Space
- Grace over perfection, always
- Encouragement over comparison
- Curiosity over criticism
- Presence over performance
- Every family's journey is valid
What We Welcome
Questions about gardening, family routines, and nature-based learning
• Sharing wins, breakthroughs, and proud moments, no matter how small
• Honest reflections about challenges and setbacks
• Resources, tips, and ideas that align with our mission
• Support and encouragement for fellow community members
• Photos and updates from your family garden
What We Do Not Allow
- Harassment, bullying, or unkind behavior toward any member
- Spam, unsolicited promotion, or advertising of outside products or services without prior approval
- Sharing of personal information belonging to others without consent
- Content that demeans, stereotypes, or disrespects any culture, background, or family structure

Protecting Children
This is a family community and children may be mentioned or even occasionally present in
photos shared by caregivers. Please be thoughtful about the images and information you share.
Do not share photos or identifying information about children other than your own without
explicit parental consent.
Moderation
Our team moderates this community with care. We reserve the right to remove posts, warn
members, or remove members from the community who repeatedly or seriously violate these
guidelines. We will always lead with grace and a private conversation before taking action
whenever possible.
Reporting Concerns
If you see something that concerns you or violates these guidelines, please contact us privately
at hello@miniandmegarden.com rather than calling it out publicly in the community. We take all
concerns seriously.
A Note from Marlow
This community was built because I believe no caregiver should have to figure this out alone.
We are better together. Show up as you are, share what you have, and let this be a soft place to
land when gardening, parenting, or life feels hard. You belong here.
