Gayla Trail

Gayla Trail is a writer, photographer, and graphic designer who has produced two best-selling books on gardening: You Grow Girl: The Groundbreaking Guide to Gardening and Grow Great Grub: Organic Food from Small Spaces.

In 2000, Trail launched You Grow Girl, a thriving online community that speaks to a new kind of gardener, seeking to redefine the modern world relationship to plants. This contemporary, laid-back approach to organic gardening promotes exploration, excitement, and a do-it-yourself approach to growing plants. In this presentation, Trail shows inspiring and practical ways to grow organic food – from common vegetables and herbs to the wonderfully weird – in small and difficult spaces.

The Philip and Elkin Alston Lecture series is made possible by the generous support of the Charles Loridans Foundation. Admission is free and no reservations are required.
