Gardening is Awesome!: Projects, Advice, and Insight for Young Gardeners (Stanley Jr.)

Go outside and enjoy the activities and projects in this book. A complete section on gardening basics and tools kicks things off. From sunlight and water requirements to starting seeds, kids will learn how to choose the right plants and keep them happy. The rest of the book is all about things to do. Chapters include projects for both flowers and vegetables - and explore popular gardening methods:

• Try simple container gardening by potting a kitchen garden or flower bulbs.
• Get into garden beds by planting a row garden or a colorful summer flower garden.
• Build a square foot garden from the ground up or aim for the sky with a tiered herb garden tower.
• And more!

With clearly written steps and helpful photographs, the aim is for kids to lead. STEAM/STEM learning opportunities are mixed in as well! Fun facts and explorations accompany the projects throughout the book. Kids are encouraged to develop a "maker" mentality, fostering creative problem solving and open-ended exploration. It's time to explore the garden!
