We, as members of the The Grow Network community, would like to give you a hearty welcome!

We put this list of questions together to help us get to know you better and to help you connect better with other members. Sharing your general location will help us understand what region you call home, and can help us give you more specific advice if needed. I also hope this can spark some new, local, in-person connections as well. (The remainder of the questions to follow are optional.)

a) What general region are you from? Do you know your growing zone?

b) How did you hear about The Grow Network?

c) Why did you decide to join TGN? For example, were you just browsing, hear about it from a friend, or did you sign up for any of our courses*?https://academy.thegrownetwork.com/

*If you are taking courses, you can ask questions and/or comment on them here:  https://community.thegrownetwork.com/categories/educational-opportunities. Please let us know your experience with your course(s) & let us know how can we encourage you!

d) What do you wish to learn from TGN and its members? How do you feel we can we best serve you and meet your needs?

e) Growing your own _____ is a journey of discovery & personal accomplishment.What goals do you want to accomplish within the next month? The next year?

f) Where does your knowledge/expertise/passion/skills lie with regards to growing your own food or growing your own medicine?

g) What else would you like to share with us (job, hobbies, animals, etc.)? A friendly reminder: please don't post any identifying information. It will get removed.

h) This is the extra fun part... jump in and browse our forum. We invite you to ask questions in the various categories that interest you, as well as share your knowledge! We love to learn together in our community. Your input is valuable.

Enjoy being a part of our vibrant community! 😀

    Greetings, I am Salma Khoo from Malaysia. I am interested in edible and medicinal plants which can be grown in the backyard and used for cooking and health. I also have a special interest in plants that can help in lowering blood sugar and reversing diabetes. I keep a bio-diverse garden of vegetables, herbs, shoots and weeds which can be infused or taken raw and blended.

    Welcome here, @SUNIN KHOO! You are certainly in the right place.

    You will find much of what you want to learn in our Apothecary category. Conversations about edible & medicinal plants, both cultivated & wild, can be found there. Under Specific Health Questions (in Our Apothecary) you will find specific about the conditions on which you are seeking more information.

    Please be sure to share what regional knowledge that you have, as we can all learn from others within other countries and cultures. By learning from each other & together, this knowledge makes us very strong.

    I will post a link below to make it easier to find these categories. Before you do a lot of posting, be sure to look over our forum rules area.

    It is great to have you here!

    Hi there!! I used to live part time in Penang for about 9 years. I was always fascinated by the way the jungle was NOT going to let concrete stop it from coming back. So many different plants and medicinal herbs.
