This book offers a wide variety of garden-related chapters, divided by months of the year. In each chapter, there is a section on plants, on planting, on crafts you can enjoy with your children, ideas for recycling everyday items into garden art, and recipes for the produce and herbs that you create in your garden. Unlike many "kid-friendly" books that you'll see, it is readily apparent that the author really has done these projects with her children and the focus is from the perspective of a child. The text is easy to read and you can "hear" the author's voice in the way she writes, and the photographs and illustrations add to the high quality of this book. I bought one for myself, and then immediately ordered another as a gift for my mother. The book is also supported by the author's website ([...]) where there are how-to videos and blogs.
Overall, a great book at a really good price.

This is such a sweet book. It has this great, wholesome, Midwestern feel that just makes you feel good. It's great for kids of all ages. It has both crafty garden projects and easy recipes. For preschool, you can pick out projects together, and then later once they're readers, let them go through it themselves and pick stuff out. Nothing intimidating or frustrating for kids (or Mom and Dad or grandparents!) and the recipes are good for kids starting out in the kitchen, both for ease of preparation and taste preferences. Fun book!

What's not to love about Project Garden?!
Reviewed in the United States on 11 January 2012Verified Purchase
Spending time outdoors has many health benefits and enhances our quality of life; however, many of us simply lack the inspiration and/or the motivation to do so. "Project Garden" provides both, in a wonderfully written, smartly illustrated, package. This reasonably priced book offers a wide-range of gardening, cooking, and craft ideas that appeal to that part - deep down inside all of us - that longs to play outside. A great addition to your family library, a perfect gift for friends, buy "Project Garden" and unlock the door to the exciting possibilities right outside your door!

There are lots of fun ideas for us to use this spring and summer for the garden...also a few to do over the winter when we need something to look forward to adding to the garden in the spring.
