What is Gardening for Kids about?

Discover 35 hands-on ways to explore gardening and nature, indoors and outdoors. Children can grow vegetables in a wheelbarrow, sprout cress caterpillars, create unusual planters from teapots and wellies, build an insect hotel and make colourful nature crafts. With projects for gardens, balconies and windowsills, this practical guide uses everyday objects and recycled materials. Clear instructions and photographs help young gardeners sow, grow, observe and make, while learning about plants, wildlife and the natural world throughout the year.
