Great Introduction for Kids!

This book is loaded with ideal and simple projects for teaching children the basics of gardening from flower gardens to vegetable gardens, from water gardens to desert gardens. One miniature garden serves as a butterfly and bee garden. Another is an herb garden. Children can also learn about some of the beneficial garden insects like lacewings, butterflies, bees, worms and ladybugs. Children can plant potatoes, peanuts, fruits and vegetables and literally enjoy the 'fruits' of their labors. Also introduce the value of seeds to birds. This book is the most complete educational book I've found to introduce children to all the varied aspects of gardening. Even grown-ups can learn a few things from this book! Great for educational programs and scout programs as well as the avid gardener who wishes to instill the value of gardening upon a young, impressionable mind. Very highly recommended. Great job Ms. Bradley!
