grows, why our forests stand tall, why our water and air are less
dirty and why billions of living things have somewhere to live.
This engaging new title encourages young readers and their
grown-ups to delight in mud, to value it in a new way and to help
protect the planet's soil for the future.
This title introduces readers to the steps involved in planting a
seedling and encourages them to try growing a plant. With colorful
spreads featuring fun facts and an infographic, this book provides
an engaging introduction to this important life skill.
Plant a pumpkinseed with a child, and cultivate wonder. This simple
act of reconnecting with children with nature is Sharon Lovejoy's
purpose and joy and gift. Author of "Sunflower Houses: Garden
Discoveries for Children of All Ages "and "Hollyhock Days: Garden
Adventures for the Young at Heart," Sharon Lovejoy is a nationally
known garden writer whose books, television specials, and projects
at her learning landscape in California have introduced thousands
of children to the pleasures of gardening.
In her newest book, "Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots," she
presents 12 spirited, easy-to-implement ideas for theme gardens
that parents and kids can grow together. Illustrated throughout by
the author's own lyrical watercolors, each garden includes a plan,
the planting recipe -- seeds, seedlings, and growing instructions
spelled out step-by-step -- and activities. There's the Pizza
Patch, a giant-size wheel garden planted in "slices" of tomatoes,
zucchini, oregano, and basil. A Flowery Maze to get lost in. A Moon
Garden of night-blooming flowers, including a moonflower tent. And
Mother Nature's Medicine Chest.
Discovery Walks teach kids how the gardens work, and a chapter on
gardening basics includes a child-friendly 10-Minute Plan for
planting and maintenance, plus a list of the top 20 plants
guaranteed to make gardeners out of kids.
