A Practical Guide For Kids In The Garden.
A book to help parents inspire children in two ways - to play outside and to care more about the environment.
Featuring 40-plus acitivities that are both fun and educational, this is Jamie Durie's invitation to the whole family to get outside, spend time together and to learn about nature at the same time.
Practical and eco-friendly in its approach, 'Backyard Kids' introduces parents and children to basic gardening concepts such as soil, compost, mulch, water, seeds, weeding and pruning. Jamie's fun journey through the seasons describes what is happening above and below the ground. His two activity-based chapters are filled with ideas and projects - such as herb and vegie gardens, terrariums, silkworms, ant farms, and recognising garden 'friends' and 'pests' plus caring for pets.
