Review by Booklist Review

For Griffin, Instagram plant guru, gardening is a family affair passed down to him from his grandmother, and in his first book, he invites readers on his personal journey as a self-described plant kween and fun-loving plant parent. Breaking down the barriers of caring for plants including space, fear, and even the myth of the green thumb, Griffin encourages everyone to introduce plants into their lives. Filled with beginner tips from common plant types to how to choose which window gets the best light, You Grow, Gurl demystifies growing healthy houseplants. Already into your plant journey? Don't worry, there is plenty of expert information on propagation, diagnosing plant problems, and even how to become a part of a bigger plant community. Tours of favorite plant shops and a chapter on plant care as self-care round out this informative and pleasurable read. Griffin's unique voice, encouraging escapades and anecdotes, and overall inspiration will make readers head to the nursery to bring a new green gurl home.
