Description

“Gardener and debut author Cerny advocates for “ecological literacy” in this appealing guide for adults trying to interest children in gardening….Her curriculum for remedying this defect covers designing, planting, and maintaining a garden, concentrating on ways to “garden like nature” (such as “companion planting, which simply means planting two or more species of plants close together to benefit at least one of them”) and feel more connected to the land….In addition to horticultural info, Cerny also dispenses some pointers on working with children with different learning styles. This informative and helpful primer will help grown-up gardeners inculcate a lifelong love of the natural world in young minds.”
