Young Gardener

Warm and inviting enough to read aloud, this is the best-organized, most practical guide to fun in the garden we’ve seen. A joyful approach to gardening based on the seasons, with sections devoted to early, middle, and late parts of each.

Peppered with vivid photos, sections use an inviting question and answer format: What’s going on in...? What’s happening with...? What can I do? Fun, practical activities walk children through caring for the soil, the plants, their tools, and garden creatures in their proper seasons. Paperback, 128 pages. Ages 5 and up.
