Press mentions of You Grow Girl, Gayla Trail, or her work and books.
The CBC News at Six sent over videographer Michael Dick this morning to shoot a segment on the rising trend in growing food gardens on roof tops for what I believe is tonight’s news. I guess I should have asked.
It was still cold and windy on the roof by noon but the sun has finally emerged and the temperatures have risen enough that I can work out there without a jacket.
Davin’s chalkboard drawing did the trick.
Leave a commentI’m going to be on the Metro Morning show tomorrow morning at 6:30 am talking about urban gardening. The decision to do this was made under what can only be described as influenced by a fleeting moment of temporary insanity. I am very much NOT a morning person preferring to sleep in past 5 am thank-you-very-much.
Anyways I only have to stay awake and be marginally articulate for about 10 minutes so if you’re one of those crazy morning people you can catch me between 6:30 and 6:40 am. I can not guarantee what will come out of my mouth at that hour. I can not guarantee that there will not be 10 minutes of total radio silence.
When: Friday, April 18, 2008 6:30 am.
Where: CBC Radio Metro Morning 99.1 FM in Southern Ontario.
UPDATE: Unfortunately the person who booked me did not put me in the book so-to-speak and I went there only to be sent home. And now I will attempt to go back to sleep.
Leave a commentI was recently interviewed for the Garden Monkey’s Celebrity Hijack series. When the mysterious (and totally hilarious) Garden Monkey contacted me about an interview I jumped on the chance because I knew it would be fun. This interview was an absolute joy to answer and a bit of a thinker too. Plus I got to swear a wee bit. You have no idea how hard I work to reign my potty mouth in on a daily basis. While you’re over there be sure to check out the previous interviews with some of the UK’s most famous gardeners. I love that almost everyone prefers the title “gardener” over “horticulturalist.”
Given my brand of humor it comes as no surprise that the two most interesting interviews I have conducted recently have come from UK publications.
Leave a commentI am so very proud that You Grow Girl was listed in Real Simple magazine’s The Best Blogs article in their March 2008. And with You Grow Girl turning eight years old this month I can’t help saying that it feels like my baby is growing up.
