One of the best parts about gardening in the 21st century is the multitude of websites we can use to chat with other gardeners, research plant information, or look at photos of others’ gardens to find inspiration.
I hang out on My Folia, Blotanical, Flickr, the You Grow Girl Forums and Stumble Upon. If you’ve never heard of those websites, I’d be happy to share what I love about each of them. Are you on any of these sites? Let me know so I can add you to my friends/favs list and check out what you’re up to over there.
What other social media sites do you like? I am thinking of joining Facebook, and I heard there was this big garden blogger meetup on Plurk. Although I have to admit I am kind of averse to sites like Plurk and Twitter. Most of the content I have seen on micro blogging platforms isn’t that great. Same thing with MySpace.

Psst…Don’t forget about the contest! Monday morning is your last chance to enter to win a copy of Big Ideas for Small Gardens by Dave Egbert and a $10 gift certificate for Renee’s Garden Seeds.

Hi Fern, I post on Flickr as creativegardener if you are interested in seeing some more of my photos. Are you on Flickr also?

Jen — Yep. My user name is lifeonthebalcony. Well, I have a number of Flickr accounts, but that’s where I post gardening related photos. I’m going to check out your photos (I’m sure they’re awesome as usual!) and add you as a contact right now…
Jen — I’m not able to find you on Flickr. Could you give me a link to your profile?
hi Fern – I’m in the process of figuring out how things on Blotanical work, with the picks and faves, etc. I’ll look for you there!
Jen — Let me know who you are over there so I can fav you…
