This month I choose How To grow a Garden by Frances Tophill and Charlotte Ager
This is beautiful large picture book. It’s certainly suitable for children but also makes a good read for their parents and grandparents.
A contents page near the beginning of the book identifies sections: Flowers and Herbs, Trees, Hedges and Edges, Grass, Fruit and Veg, Water, Exotic Plants and Further Resources.
Each double spread shows pictures of the topics discussed and provides bite-sized information.
At the end of each section there are suggestions about what you can do in each season.
The book opens with an introduction about how the text works. It invites the reader to join in an interesting journey.
Throughout the text there are many activities suggested to the reader.
There is a glossary and an index at the end of the book.
Frances Tophill and Charlotte Ager will certainly get you enthusing about your garden in their inspirational How to Grow a Garden.
