Children are curious about and fascinated with nature. Couple this
curiosity with the experience of gardening and the result will be a
child that appreciates the fruits, vegetables, and grains that nature
has to offer. "Sow And Grow: A Gardening Book For Children" is
specifically designed and written by Tina Davis to provide young readers
with a calendar of indoor-gardening and related activities, each of
which is linked to seasonal celebrations and changes. Beautifully
illustrated throughout, "Sow And Grow" begins with basic
explanations of the various parts of plants from seed to flower to
fruit. Then addresses what plants need to thrive. Then beginning with
January and working through to December, specific and 'kid
friendly' projects are provided with step-by-step instructions.
January is 'Growing Plants from Seeds', May is 'Window
Boxes', September is 'Pressing Flowers and Leaves',
December is 'Decorating and Caring for Houseplants'. Enhanced
with extensive Gardening Notes, "Sow And Grow" is
enthusiastically recommended for both family and community library
Gardening reference and instructional guide collections for children.
