A New Zealand step-by-step guide to growing your own vegetable and fruit gives people of all ages the gardening basics, as well as fun projects and activies to spark the imagination and cultivate green thumbs. Growing your own veges and fruit is the new black - more and more people are turning back to growing their own food in this time of rising food and petrol costs and plummeting house values. And for some time now, primary schools have been teaching their students how to grow plants and have extra-curricular garden clubs. So there's a great need for this book and children don't need to know everything there is about edible gardening to get started. The book re-introduces the idea that food comes from nature - not the supermarket - and the acts of growing, preparing and sharing it can be immensely satisfying. This book is packed with information and ideas for making edible gardening a fun activity that all members of the family can ...
