Description …In fact, anyone wanting to learn to garden from a master will love this book, for she includes all the basics of gardening along with her ways of sharing it with our little ones. And, if you already know how to garden, but want to learn how to work with young children, she shows you that, too. The first part of the book is like walking into her kindergarten where she quietly shows us the rhythms and ways of what is to me a sacred space wherein children can blossom. Gardening with Young Children answers so many needs with so much love that it simply brings tears to my eyes to read it. I hope that it becomes the seed to many, many gardens that invite children into the world of nature. — Waldorf Books Gardening with Young Children is a lively and imaginative guide to a child’s experience of a year in a garden. Experienced gardener Beatrys Lockie explains the basic techniques, from sowing the seeds to harvesting the produce, and gives instructions for cultivating easily grown flowers, herbs, and vegetables. The author also describes projects using berries, seeds, and leaves, delicious and simple recipes, plus stories, songs, and poems about the insects, birds, and animals of the gardening world. The activities in this “Early Years” book are suitable for gardens of all shapes and sizes—even for a few pots on a balcony or small patio. This warm-hearted book by a very successful mother, gardener, and teacher has the potential to become a guide for the next generation toward understanding nature and to heal our threatened environment worldwide. — Sibylle Alexander, author of Told by the Peat Fire
