Editorial Reviews

Gr 2-4-A cheerful whirlwind tour of gardening. Each subject gets two facing pages, plentifully illustrated with colorful photographs and drawings, and includes a "how to do it" section. Topics include categories of plants, garden tools, growing plants from seed, transplanting seedlings, planting bulbs, garden maintenance, growing vegetables, herbs, various garden creatures, propagating plants, arranging flowers, and indoor plants. Photographs of smiling children tending beautiful plants are inviting, as is the clear, encouraging text. Organic gardening is emphasized, as is a spirit of care for the earth. This is a rudimentary introduction that needs an experienced gardener-helper and more complete information books to aid novice gardeners. Tracy Maurer's Growing Flowers, Growing Vegetables, and Growing House Plants (all Rourke, 2000) go into a little more depth.-Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
