From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5-This simple, straightforward book offers a variety of projects from a windowsill salad garden to a birdhouse made from a homegrown gourd. Whether young gardeners have a large backyard or only a window box available, there is an easy, fun activity here for everyone. Directions are clear and easy to follow, with helpful diagrams and black-and-white cartoon drawings. Adult help is required only occasionally, and readers are told to ask for guidance when necessary. A glossary explains many of the terms used (peat pots, perennials, thinning, topsoil), but it is annoying to have to turn to the back of the book each time a word is starred in the text. For youngsters who like to putter in the dirt and adults looking for group projects, this book will be helpful. For libraries with large juvenile garden collections, it's a supplementary purchase.

Product Description
For ages 8+. Dig right into this green-thumb fun and plant a windowsill 'nibbling' salad and a circle-of-broom bouquet garden. Colour the world with flowers! Sow a red, white and blue flag and write your name with flowers. Make perfect planters from an old football. Then, build some fun topiary designs in a pot. Dribble juice from picked-at-the-peak-ripeness strawberries and raise a trio of bug-munching bog plants right on the windowsill. Grow awesome snacks, including a home-grown pizza and popcorn.
