Spring is means getting the garden ready for planting. Young kids
love to mess around in the dirt. "Show Me the Basics" contains
short, kid-friendly units on sun/shade, dirt, water, and
fertilizers. The Gardening FUNdamentals section has information
on planning a garden, knowing when to plant, having the right
tools, and keeping a garden journal. Planning My Garden deals
with veggie and flower gardening, creating a school garden (which
also includes a great list of kids' gardening books), and even
gardening in odd containers (like old sneakers, tires, and sewer
tiles).
