Kyrstie’s book, Grow Just One Thing, is a perfect way to describe subtle disruption. If we are able to make one small change, the benefits of that change can be disproportionate to the change, and enable us to bring many other positive things into our lives. Kyrstie’s way of doing this is to encourage all of us to start growing one thing in our garden or house.
