Many gardeners find that once they have children, gardening goes the way of late-night dinner parties and Sunday morning sleep-ins. Raising kids and maintaining a garden can be a juggling act, leaving the family garden forgotten and neglected. But kids can make great gardening companions, and the benefits of including them are impossible to ignore.

Their involvement becomes the real harvest of a family garden. This book needs to be returned.
