Review
What better way to get children interested in gardening than with a fun-filled, attractively laid-out book on the subject? Full of zany ideas clearly illustrated and explained in child-friendly language, this is sure to sow some horticultural seeds to mature in later life as an enjoyable hobby. Dinosaur worlds, desert landscapes, painted pots, herb sachets and garden mobiles intermingle with the more serious subjects such as vegetable growing. All presented in a wacky child-appealing format, this is sure to appeal even if gardening doesn't. So encourage them outside and let them discover for themselves the wonders of nature with these imaginative projects. - Lucy Watson

colourfull, inspiring activities for kids to enjoy gardening
I borrowed the book from the library but want to purchase mine : every page is built like a poster with colourfull pictures for every step in the process, be it planting seeds/flowers/squash/tomatoes, creating a miniture garden in a lid or a dynosaur world, my son enjoyed painting the pots and making ladybirds from ping-pong balls.
Loved it.

The Gardening Book
Bought as a prize for a child in a school gardening competition. Just the job. Quick delivery and well packaged.
