Children are fascinated by the natural world, and what better way to introduce them to the wonders of their surrounding environment than getting them involved in the garden? Author and television personality Mary Moody has nine grandchildren, and in this delightful book she shares her passion for introducing kids to the joys of growing plants, and harvesting their own fruit, vegetables and herbs. There are dozens of projects and ideas to inspire the kids, as well as the basic information they will need to be successful. This is a book to encourace a whole new generation of garden-lovers.

This delightful book introduces children to the joys of gardening. There’s information on what to plant and when, how to prepare the soil and the right tools to use. Then there’s the nitty gritty – how to grow herbs, vegetables, salad greens, mushrooms and flowers. Simple recipes show how to prepare, cook and store this bounty. And the fun really starts with instructions on how to make a scarecrow, paint pots, make a worm garden and press flowers.
