Excerpt:
Amber Grossman is the founder of BlackGirlsGardening, an online community on Instagram designed to connect Black women gardeners and inspire others to start a garden and plant seeds back into the land, she is also the author of Black Girls Gardening: Empowering Stories and Garden Wisdom for Healing and Flourishing in Nature.
When the joy of gardening in her backyard brought her online in search of guidance and community, Amber found an abundance of voices—but a lack of Black women represented on many platforms. In 2019, she launched @blackgirlsgardening on Instagram, a space to connect with other Black female gardeners. The community has grown to almost 100K followers, providing the vision for this much-needed new book.
Her new book, Black Girls Gardening, profiles 31 women and shares their hands-on gardening wisdom, compelling personal stories, and inspiring images of their real-life gardens. The profiles are conveniently organized into specific gardening pursuits: backyard gardens, garden to kitchen, flower gardens, gardening with kids, community gardening, and farming.
