Starting a Garden

A refreshing source of ideas to help children learn to grow their own patch of earth, Gardening Lab for Kids encourages children to get outside and enjoy nature. This fun and creative book features 13 plant-related activities set into weekly lessons. Renata Fossen Brown guides your family through fun opportunities learning about botany, ecology, the seasons, food, patience, insects, eating, and cooking. The labs can be used as singular projects or to build on experiences. The lessons in this book are open-ended to be explored over and over-with different results each time! So, slip on your muddy clothes, and get out and grow!
