Picture Book Review: Garden Books

Just a few books about flowers and gardens:

A mom and her child are off to the nursery; they need supplies for their garden. What will they find? And how will it come out?

There is a lot of information in this book and a lot of text. The text is broken up by lots of colorful illustrations. Gardening tips and tricks are hidden within the text. Caution: this book might make you want to start up a garden. 

There's a piece of land that belongs to no one. Mara decides to plant some sunflower seeds. She plants them and tends to them. She waits patiently for them to sprout.

This is a lovely story about patience and gardening and things not working out as planned. I loved how the garden turned out and seeing how the garden changed. Another great story for PLANT A SEED summer theme. 

Willadeen's farm is in the middle of nowhere - just the way she likes it. Until someone tries to buy it from her. She isn't interested in selling and a city grows up around her. But now she's part of the city.

This is a story about community and determination. Willadeen doesn't give in to pressure about selling when a man tries to take her land. She carries on doing what she loves. 

While this one isn't a story, it is about gardening in a picture book format. There are 15 different projects that they can try to grow.

I love how some of the items you can grow from the product itself and you can use recycled materials. The instructions are easy to follow and cutely illustrated.
