Gardening (Children's&YA)

This colourful activity book invites kids ages 3 to 6 to explore the world of plants and how they grow through creative hands-on activities developed by City Sprouts, a leading educational organisation focused on introducing urban kids to the wonders of the garden and promoting equity in science education.

Kids don't need a big backyard or outdoor space to learn about gardening and how plants grow. This introductory garden book, packed with photos of 3 to 6 year olds in action, features hands-on planting and growing activities that can be done in a small yard, classroom, or community garden. Written by the staff of City Sprouts, a leading educational organisation in promoting urban gardening and equitable access to nature, each activity - from Sorting Seeds to Going on a Worm Hunt to Planting a Tasty Salad - encourages kids to roll up their sleeves and learn about seeds, planting, and gardening. Step-by-step photos and on-the-page discovery prompts, presented in a lively design, make it easy and inviting for kids everywhere to become plant lovers and nature explorers.
