Grow Heirlooms. Grow Diversity. Grow Community.

"Grow It Forward"

Join in with fellow gardeners across the U.S. and Canada to preserve the legacy and diversity of heirloom plants by “Growing it Forward.”

YourGardenShow presents the "Grow It Forward Heirloom Seed Contest," in partnership with Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company.

Enter the contest for multiple chances to win monthly prizes - and a Grand Prize of accommodations and air travel to attend The National Heirloom Expo in California this September.

Coming Soon: New and Expanded Community Forum

Share in the legacy of generations of collective gardening wisdom with our soon-to-be-launched Community Forum, where you'll be able to get tips and growing advice from others in your same growing region, start new discussions or share some of your own gardening experience. You'll even find it easy to add context to your questions by sharing photos or videos directly from your garden slideshow carousel. Stay tuned!

Have a garden related question in the meantime? Just go to the "Ask Ian" questions page, and get an answer.

YourGardenShow makes it easy to share knowledge, tools and resources, visit and showcase gardens online and take part in citizen science projects involving our natural world.
