Grow Curious Book Pre-Ordering is Here!

It’s almost here! My new book, Grow Curious: Creative Activities to Cultivate Joy, Wonder, and Discovery in Your Garden has gone to the printer and pre-ordering is available for those of you who did not catch the Kickstarter campaign.

Our goal was to produce a beautiful, well-made, and locally printed book on ecologically-minded paper. We chose to work with a press right here in Toronto that has a reputation for making quality art books. Of course, you get what you pay for, and in this case that has meant producing a book that costs much more than it would have had we sent it off to China and made other less-considered choices. The result is a small run, special edition that we may never be able to produce again — quantities are EXTREMELY low. Between the gorgeous paper, off-set printing, and Davin’s rich artwork, the final product will be a deliciously tactile art object.

Producing a book like this is a dream come true and I am so thankful to all of you who backed this project and made it a reality!

Here are a few spreads to whet your appetite. More preview images are available on the store site.

  1. This is very exciting! I’m almost a little worried about how excited I am! I bought the ebook, and membership in the club. Can I assume I’ll get some kind of notification when the club becomes active? Will it be later this month? Wheee! This is bound to be big fun!

  2. I’m very excited this was made available for order, I was under the impression it was ONLY through the Kickstarter. I already ordered a copy! :D

    • We raised enough to print a small number beyond the copies that were sold through the Kickstarter. But not many, which is why I’ve been emphasizing that this will be first come first serve. Once they’re gone we won’t be able to make them like this again, if at all.

  3. Hi Gayla,
    I would love to order a print copy of the book, but I live in the U.K.
    There isn’t an option for that on the fluffco form.
    Are you only shipping to US and Canada?
    Looks like a really wonderful book.

    • Hi Tamar,

      Yes, for now we are only shipping in Canada and the US as shipping internationally is prohibitively expensive and comes with its own set of issues. We might open it up if there are still copies available once we’ve made it through the arduous task of shipping all of the books that are currently spoken for.

  4. Hi! Gayla,
    Congratulations! on your new book. This is wonderful! Just ordered a print copy today, as I missed the Kickstarter campaign. Look forward to reading your book.
    Gayla, you and Davin must be so pleased. Thank you so much, for sharing.
    Have a lovely and sunny day!
    Blessings,
    Marl
