Families looking to enrich their green thumbs while beautifying their homes will enjoy this comprehensive guide to indoor and outdoor gardening using nontoxic flowers, vegetables, trees, and houseplants. Sorted by type—plants from seed, bulbs, annuals, perennials, fruiting trees, and sensory plants—each plant is thoroughly explained and easy to identify using color photographs. Details such as the flora’s preferred habit and why a particular plant is good for kids are included along with suggestions for use in the garden. Seventeen gardening projects illustrate a variety of creative and fun ways for children and parents to plant together, including butterfly gardens, herb pots, hanging baskets, rock gardens, and cutting gardens.

what a find!!!!!!,
This review is from: 101 Kid-Friendly Plants: Fun Plants and Family Garden Projects (Paperback)
This is a great book- both for the family and for school groups. This is the perfect time of year to get your kids outside, and this book is full of great ideas, projects and ways to both entertain and teach kids.Our school district has ordered one for each school,and each grade has their own project going.Every time we open it, we find another great concept. Ms. Krezel has really created a new way of presenting ecology, horticulture and just plain fun to children of all ages.

Want to Introduce Your kids to gardening? This is THE book!,

This review is from: 101 Kid-Friendly Plants: Fun Plants and Family Garden Projects (Paperback)
Even very young kids can really enjoy planting, feeding and nurturing their own plants. They learn about Nature's mysteries and miracles as well as its beauty. In an increasingly cerebral and "cyber" world, gardening brings everyone closer to the earth - - and the closer we are to it, the more likely we are to take care of it.
101 KID-FRIENDLY PLANTS: Fun Plants and Family Garden Projects is family-oriented, easy to read, stimulating, encouraging and fun. And ... talk about your gifts that keep on giving!
