5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensize Gardening Fun for Kids, April 8, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: New Junior Garden Book: Cool projects for kids to make and grow (Better Homes & Gardens) (Spiral-bound)
The book has it all covered. From the basics and safety to creating flower or vegetable projects. Each project has a list of items you need and step-by-step instructions. In some cases you'll also see a piece on what to expect next. Projects are environmentally friendly due to the recycling of items that are typically thrown away. Plant zones and what grows best in a zone will help the young gardener.

The colorful illustrations as well as pictures add to the overall appeal to kids. Each project is also identified with a skill scale so they (you) can easily tell when they may need adult help or supervision.

Great book and projects for kids! I bought one to do projects with my Brownie troop -- then went back and bought two for my kids' teachers! Very kid friendly, uses materials that are common and great illustrations!

2.0 out of 5 stars too simple, August 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: New Junior Garden Book: Cool projects for kids to make and grow (Better Homes & Gardens) (Spiral-bound)
I was looking for something that would be simple to understand but actually teach the basics of gardening the hows and the whys of certain things along with some projects to try. I felt it was all projects without any supporting knowledge that a child could apply to projects they make up on their own. This is good for a younger child but not one that really wants to learn how to be a gardener.
