This little book offers some truly excellent idea's that could be used at home or in school. The idea's are all clearly linked to stepping-stones to different area's of the early years curriculum. If you don't have a garden at school or at home this book can still be used because the idea's are extremely flexible and easy to follow.

Eddie's Garden: and How to Make Things Grow: And How to Make Things Grow

by: Sarah Garland

Helpful in that one of my boys is named Eddie, but nevertheless the subject matter and way the tale was told was enough to persuade my 4 yr old that gardening is quite fun after all. Very gentle humour with the toddler, Lily continually trying to eat worms and soil: so true to life!

After having read the book my 4 yr old was suddenly interested in worms and soil and digging - no other book has sparked his interest in the same way.

Really good ideas about what to plant and how (especially a bean wigwam) and notes at the end to help parents with planing a veggie plot, but also realistic in realising not every garden has a large swathe of earth that can be dug up as in Eddie's Garden.

What I really liked ... Read More:

Roots, Shoots, Buckets and Boots: Gardening Together with Children

This is a wonderfull book for inspiring ideas but the practicality of carrying out the projects to fruition would require a huge amount of time and effort. I would love to be able to create the Pizza Garden or the Sunflower House but in reality never would!

Loved it.

Gardening with Kids

My little 2-year old girl has just started getting interested in the garden, especially all the creepies, and I got this book to insire me with creative things to do in the garden, rather than just growing cress.
I love the fantastic photos in the book and it helps that I can show her the stages and aims of what we are trying to do. I have tried a couple of the projects and she loves to help me do the messy bits. It has really helped me spend more time with her and now we spend less time in front of the TV and more time outdoors. It's a great book for all the family.
