My Garden Journal: A "How To" Garden Book For Kids

by Brenda J. Sullivan, Kathryn A. Sullivan (Illustrator)

Overview

Gardening is a learned skill - everyone has to start somewhere, and a journal provides the best way to improve your gardening skills to ensure more successes and fewer failures.

The intent of this journal is to simultaneously teach basic gardening techniques while providing a place to record your journey with important information about the “how, when, and where” to grow food and flowers.

There are suggestions on themed gardens such as “A Harry Potter Garden”, “A Young Chef’s Garden”, or a “Monarch Butterfly Superhero Garden” for budding Naturalists and places to either sketch or photograph your plants to remember their appearance for the next growing season.

You’ll be amazed at how much you will learn by journaling about your garden!
