    5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, you CAN have your own garden. December 20, 2010
    Format:Paperback
    Super readable, and full of eye-catching pictures.

    I Garden is packed with information, balancing explanation with usability. I especially enjoy the activity suggestions for parents and kids together. Even if you live in the big city, your little ones can see for themselves that food does NOT just come from the supermarket, or from McD.

    This book will help your whole family participate in creating delicious food. (Perhaps also a gift idea for the urban-dwelling gourmand in your life.)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for beginners!!! January 9, 2011
    By Scott J
    Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
    As a novice gardener, I was a bit trepid about the whole idea of gardening before picking up this book. It presents the big things to know in a simple enough way to understand (with lots of visually stunning and helpful pictures), but not in an overly complicated way. I felt informed, but not overwhelmed. I really liked that it helps you identify what type of gardener you will be, giving you the best chance of success as you determine ahead of time what you should grow, what the environment is like, and what fits into your schedule.

    It's surprisingly easy to read and I already bought one for my mama!
