Containing a variety of fun and rewarding projects that will enthuse and educate young gardeners, from growing a window ledge meadow to planting a celebration tree, it's a goldmine of ideas and information for parents who understand the therapeutic and creative benefits that gardening can bring to youngsters. Help children cultivate their gardens--and grow beautifully along with them. These 40 rewarding projects take youngsters away from the TV and out into the fresh air, to channel youthful energies in exciting new ways. And parents share in the fun, too--whether it's helping to grow an herb garden in a box or making a mosaic sundial.
