GUIDE TO GARDENING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE

Pub Date: April 12th, 1955
Publisher: Prentice-Hall

A fairly complete coverage of beginning gardening and its problems outlines projects that range from window boxes to vegetable gardens and from good fertilizing to flower arranging. Chapters on plot location, soil, garden clubs, planting time, cultivation, pests, harvest, Indoor gardens and so forth present a good introduction to spade and trowel work- and each is suffixed with practical hints to those who may be working at gardening with young people. Anyone with the interest should have little difficulty with the material- hence we're placing it in this age group with a reminder of its use for parents and teachers.
