This book is filled with great ideas you can use to bring your grandchildren out of the house and into the great outdoors so you can spend some quality time with them.

Don Evans Gardening with Grandchildren has really given us some great ideas. Thanks! When we talked with our grandkids about gardening they wanted to start with growing potatoes! The 6 year old has learned about ecological and "locally produced" so he wanted to start with potatoes. Later on I'm sure we will take on more projects based on this great ebook.

I find this book educational as well as inspirational. It's like a concise elementary school lesson on gardening and values education.

It's a good guide for parents and grandparents. It encourages creativity, resourcefulness and values development in children through fun gardening.

More About the Author

Don Evans, a transplanted New Zealander who's lived in Canada for more years than he cares to remember has a number of passions, but a couple that stand out are his love for getting his hands dirty in his garden, and a penchant for telling others of his gardening experiences and discoveries, most recently as a respected Kindle author.

In fact the first publication in a planned series (Gardening with Don) - "Vertical Gardening - Bountiful Results in Small Places" hit the best seller list on Amazon within days of publication.

Look for short, informative books on Gardening topics such as Vertical Gardening, Community Gardening, Sanctuary Gardening, Gardening with the Grandkids and more.
