Synopsis
A garden's brilliance reflects the care and skill of its gardener. In this vibrant photo-essay, young children are introduced to the lively world of gardening.
The clear and informative text explains tips of the trade, like the importance of compost and worms to nourish plants of all kinds, and the right time of year to plant bulbs. Lavish photographs, many of which were taken in the Children's Garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, bring this much-loved hobby to life. Children will learn that gardening isn't difficult, it just takes time and patience. And best of all, the results can be both beautiful and delicious. A brief glossary is also included.

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which since 1914 has been impressing upon young minds the importance of nature and plants, approved the text, glossary and photographs in this book. Its Children's Garden has been a model for similar gardens worldwide.
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4?A photo-essay about gardens through the seasons. The beautiful full-color photographs seem to have come first, leaving a problem with the text. Sometimes the captions are vague and philosophical: "Within a garden, the cycles and rhythms of life?plant and animal?are clear to see." Sometimes it seems as if readers are being instructed: "Annual flowers are planted later, when the air and soil temperatures are warmer." The word "annual" is italicized and is defined with seven other words in a glossary at the back of the book. Many races and ages of people are shown in a variety of settings. This is a pretty book, but the narrative is random and confusing.?Carolyn Jenks, First Parish Unitarian Church, Portland, ME
