Comments OffCraftSanity Episode 23: Grow Your Own with Gayla Trail
“In this episode Gayla, 32, will tell us the story of how her website sprouted into the book (You Grow Girl: The Groundbreaking Guide to Gardening) and now a TV show in the making. In her book, Gayla presents great gardening information in an accessible and fun-to-read way, giving even the greenest rookie a boost of confidence.
If you don’t garden already, you’re likely to be inspired to start after this episode. Don’t have a back yard? No problem. Gayla emphasizes that gardens can be grown just about anywhere the sun shines and encourages apartment dwellers to try growing tasty treats in containers on even the smallest of balconies.
Another excellent feature of her book is that Gayla likes to craft, so the book is loaded with instructions for making everything from planter boxes and leaf-shaped garden stones to journals, aprons and tea bags.”

Comments OffGardening & Deck Design – Gardening with Gayla Trail
- From: Gardening & Deck Design (Summer 06)
“My concept of what’s possible as far as gardening goes is pretty open ended,” says Gayla Trail, who grows edibles and ornamentals on a roof deck, in a strip of city-owned property at the side of her apartment building and at a community garden. Trail credits her can-do attitude to her West Indian-born grandmother, who grew vegetables on her balcony in St. Catharines, Ontario.
In 2000, Trail launched YouGrowGirl.com, an online community of mostly North American gardeners but with members as far away as Australia and India.”
