Get Growing gives people of all ages the gardening basics, as well as fun projects and activies to spark the imagination and cultivate green thumbs. Children don't need to know everything there is about edible gardening to get started. The book re-introduces the idea that food comes from nature - not the supermarket - and the acts of growing, preparing and sharing it can be immensely satisfying. This book is packed with information and ideas for making edible gardening a fun activity that all members of the family can enjoy. First published April 2009.
