"We all love some new growth, dahling."

Six years ago, Christopher Griffin embarked on the plant parenthood journey with a single small Marble Queen Pothos. Today, this Black Queer non-binary femme plant influencer, known as Plant Kween, cares for a family of over 200 healthy green gurls in their Brooklyn apartment, affectionately referred to as their home.

You Grow, Gurl! is Kween's delightful and informative guide to becoming a plant parent and ensuring that your green gurls thrive and flourish. It's a message that anyone can embrace, regardless of their level of experience or expertise. The key to being a successful plant parent lies in nurturing and caring for your plants with love and attention.

In this fun and joyful guide, you'll discover practical instructions and tips on everything from propagating to measuring humidity to repotting. You'll also find engaging activities, inspiring stories, and 200 full-color photos and illustrations that will help you green up any space and create a lush, inviting environment.

But plant parenthood isn't just about taking care of your plants; it's also about taking care of yourself. Kween understands that self-care takes many forms, and tending to your plants' needs is a powerful way to nurture your own growth and well-being. In addition to providing information and advice on plant care, Kween offers meditations, mindfulness activities, playlists, and more to help you practice self-care through plant-care.

As Kween aptly puts it, "We can learn a lot about how we treat ourselves, how we treat others, and how we navigate the world from these green lil creatures." Caring for plants teaches us to apply the same attention and love to ourselves, helping us find new pathways to explore and discover our own botanical adventures.

Healing and growing your heart, body, and soul takes time, love, and focus. Taking care of plants provides an opportunity to apply that same attention and love to yourself, fostering personal growth and self-discovery. It's a journey that can be both rewarding and transformative, allowing you to connect with nature and find inner peace.

So, whether you're looking to add some greenery to your home or embark on a journey of self-nurturing and personal growth, let Kween's guide be your companion. Discover the joys and benefits of plant parenthood, and let your green gurls flourish as you nurture your own heart, body, and soul.
