You Grow Girl

Not a Flash site but definitely one of my favourite sites to visit! Even if you’re not into gardening, you’ll appreciate the wonderful photography.

Launched by Gayla Trail in February 2000, www.yougrowgirl.com has grown into a thriving online community that speaks to a new kind of gardener, seeking to redefine the modern world relationship to plants. This contemporary, laid-back approach to gardening places equal importance on environmentalism, style, affordability, art, and humour. ..
