Bursting with ideas to engage children in the outdoors, this comprehensive guide makes gardening fun and safe. It offers numerous projects that involve kids actively in gardening, along with tips to make family gardening both educational and exciting. In an age where video games dominate, this guide helps parents encourage outdoor exercise and cultivate a shared family interest. It includes safety guidelines and strategies to maintain children's attention during the slow gardening process. Children enjoy feeling grown-up and seeing the results of their efforts, and this guide shows parents how to facilitate that experience. Illustrated, step-by-step projects range from planting rainbow and sensory gardens to creating scarecrows, wormeries, and tile mosaics. For families with limited space, suggestions for window boxes and other activities are included. A directory of suitable plants for children highlights those that grow quickly, smell pleasant, are cost-effective, and easy to handle. With her experience as a gardening columnist and devoted mother, the author serves as an ideal guide for parents looking to share the joy of gardening with their children. Her year-round, easy-to-follow activities are sure to inspire families for years to come.

Every budding gardener can make a successful start with the practical advice and step-by-step instructions of this illustrated guide. Beginning with a look at the basic elements—soil, climate, aspect, and light—it then goes on to show novice gardeners how to plan a garden and select a style that's right for them. The next step is "hardscaping": essentials like boundaries, paths, patios, and seating. Then comes the fun the plants! Aspiring green thumbs will learn the secrets of good planting and get advice on how to combine plants according to shape, color, and texture, and how to create container displays for year-round color. Packed with color photos, this guide is complete with an extensive section on gardening techniques that takes readers step-by-step through planting, sowing, seeding, and pruning.
