Description

How does a garden grow? A backyard full of fresh vegetables and blooming flowers isn't just for families with green thumbs! "Project Garden" offers a simple, kid-friendly plan to get a garden growing at any time of year. Each month is filled with exciting possibilities that take less than 20-minutes to finish. Parents don't need to be expert gardeners to make sure their kids' projects are successes: every task is broken down into clear, concise instructions. Whether families are tending flower beds in spring, stewing July's tomatoes, or coaxing bulbs to bloom mid-winter, they'll be doing it together.
