Garden Wizardry For Kids

Gardening Wizardry for Kids is a great book that was written for children whose garden growing space may be only a windowsill in an apartment or a classroom.

It offers easy-to-read, easy-to-do plant projects and experiments for home and school use. But even more than that, it offers history and folklore of common fruits and vegetables like apples, avocado, bean, carrot celery, etc.

Fun folklore such as the story that if a guy tossed an apple to a girl, he was proposing to her. If she caught it, she accepted.

Herbs are also introduced. Being such a big part of early medicines, they have their own chapter: history, growing instructions, and ideas of how to use them in meals and for gift giving.
