Let's Get Gardening

This book is great. It has great explanations and hands on activities to make gardening fun for kids. DK makes great books and this is another. I got it so we could do a gardening study in our homeschool and this has been perfect. The activities are engaging but not overly complicated or time consuming. It also encourages recycling containers for planters which is a great lesson in being eco-friendly and using what you have on hand.

My daughter is very interested in gardening so we bought her this to help her get started. She loves it.

My grandkids are 5 and 6. They loved all of the fun activities in the book. Lots of things to read and do to gets little kids gardening.

This book covered a wide range of gardeing subjects. We gave it to ou r 7 year old grandson as a birthday present. He seemed to enjoy looking through it.

We borrowed this book several times from our library. My kids enjoyed it so much I decided to purchase it. They have alot of plans for the spring. Projects are child sized and budget friendly.

I scoured Amazon for kids gardening books, and kept coming back to this one. For those (like me) who do not know what "Flexibound" is--it resembles a miniature coffee-table book. I like that it breaks down garden items into individual instructions: "How to grow beets," "How to grow radishes." Maybe one of these days I'll even get around to doing one of the ideas.

This book is gorgeous! Beautiful and bright pictures. Great info, easy instructions, and fun ideas.

My 11 yr. autistic son loves this book. It even has great project ideas in it.

This is so good that I was glad I'd sent off for it early as it gave me a chance to read it and get some excellent ideas for activities with my grandchildren before I gave it to them! Lots of very interesting and engaging projects on each page. The photos are vibrant and clear and the information is set out in concise chunks making it a pleasure to read. It doesn't just concentrate on growing flowers, fruit and vegetables but gives recommendations for plants that encourage wildlife, recycling tips, making feeders and habitats for different creatures, etc. Very good!

A fantastic book for budding young gardeners. Filled with bright colourful photographs to complement the clear instructions for growing popular fruit and vegetables. There are loads of child friendly ideas for recycling household waste into quirky pots and wildlife friendly habitats. I know my little flower will love reading this book and trying all the little projects when she's older - probably good from age 4 upwards. A must for young gardeners eager to learn trusted techniques for growing their own food for a lifetime and treating the wondrous nature in their gardens with love and respect. I'd highly recommend this book.

This book is aimed at children but as a beginner I found it very useful it explained tasks very clearly. covering planting seeds transplanting and various types of fungal and creature attack. Anybody thinking of growing some of their own vegetables then they could be helped by the advice in this book.

This book is so good. Highly recommend, even if you dont have kids. So many great ideas and tips to also recycle things ie using discarded egg shells & an egg box carton as recycled seed trays. Lots of good ideas to also make small indoor or balcony gardens.

My son still re-reads it from time to time after having had it for over 2 months. He loves the illustration and all the plant knowledge packed inside. Absolutely recommend it.
