Eat What You Grow Where You Live is for all the children who can’t stay out of their parents’ garden, who love helping to prepare dinner, and who can’t resist getting their hands dirty. In this gardening book with a difference, children are taught how to grow their own fruits and vegetables at home, whether home is in the city or country, in an apartment or a house.

Lorraine Johnson teaches readers lots of fun and unique growing methods, such as how to harvest potatoes in old tires, how to make fertilizer “tea” using an old nylon stocking, and how to compost veggie remains using worms! Children can follow instructions easily with the help of colorful diagrams and illustrations, and sidebars offer helpful tips on everything from watering methods to organic pest control.

In this accessible, hands-on gardening book for young readers, children will learn how to grow their own food, and they will discover how they can contribute to sustainable, green living. Eating locally has never been so much fun or so yummy! Eat What You Grow Where You Live is simultaneously an activity book for kids, a gardening how-to guide, and a reference for environmentally friendly living. Whether it is winter or summer, sunny or shady, this lively book will demonstrate that delicious, healthy food can be grown and enjoyed no matter where you are.
