The No-Dig Children's Gardening Book

Don't like endless digging and weeding? Don't let that stop you from gardening with your kids! This ambitious, attractively presented book encourages children to become not only gardeners, but also nature observers, scientists, and data collectors.--Kirkus Reviews The simple and achievable gardening projects in this book are perfect for parents and young children to do together. All are based on Charles Dowding's trademark no-dig technique, which perfectly lends itself to gardening with little ones who can't manage heavy digging and who will quickly grow bored of endless weeding. Projects are broken down into easy, step-by-step processes, designed to be carried out by children. Attractive, full-bleed photography is supplemented with fun illustration and fully illustrated factual spreads. Running throughout the gardening projects are extra little facts about plants and wildlife, as well as things to look out for when you are outdoors.
