Gardening Related Books for Kids

I've mentioned the various resource boards I'm building for my readers over on Pinterest.  In case you've missed those posts-- each of the boards highlights some of my favorite books and other resources related to the topics on this blog. They are meant to help you, my readers, connect your children to nature and to other cultures. I hope you'll make good use of them and share them with your friends and colleagues.

Since it's gardening season, I thought it might be helpful to highlight some of my favorite gardening books from my "Gardening Books" board. (Note: Even if you don't want to create your own Pinterest boards, you can view the ones I've created. You do not need to actively use Pinterest to look at other user's pins).

These are just a sampling of my favorite gardening/ vegetable related picture books. There are more on my Pinterest board. 

What are your favorite gardening books? Please leave your suggestions in the comments so I can add them to my board.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

Happy Friday everyone. It's a hot one here in southeastern Massachusetts- the temperature is already hovering around 90 degrees F at 10:30 in the morning.

One priority around here is making sure our veggie garden is properly watered so our plants won't wilt.

How is your garden coming? Have you planted one? Not yet? There's still time. Even if you don't have a yard, there are lots of options for you.

No matter where you live, rather than start a large garden that overwhelms you, plan to start small and build on your successes. Even one small pot of plants is a great start.

For inspiration, here are some photos taken in our garden this morning:

Are you looking for resources to help you get started? Check out my Pinterest board of gardening books. You'll find 'How To' books such as the Vegetable Gardener's Bible and great read- alouds for your kids such as Planting a Rainbow.

If you have a favorite gardening book, please leave it in the comments and I'll add it to my board.
