Customer Reviews

Important life lessons served up with fun

We have had great fun doing these simple projects - summer, winter, bulbs in winter, and easy to grow pole bean 'teepees' in summer. The authors point out that gardening contains life lessons for children: They learn the value of patience, and that you work first and get rewards after. Terrific for common sense learning.

Review

This is a great book for the novice gardener--whether you're an "innie" or an "outie" (where you garden--indoors or out). It has great ideas for kids gardening, such as fun containers (like tennis shoes) and a living teepee (poles with runner beans). I found it very helpful and informative for the layperson's interest in beginning gardening, as well.
