Publisher's Synopsis
After a lifetime spent tunnelling through the hidden roots of backyard gardens, Wally engagingly teaches kids about the amazing and often magical world of plants. He describes the different types of plants according to how new ones are created; explains why plants need water and sunlight to thrive; differentiates between herbs and weeds; and provides information on unusual species, such as cacti, plants that are mobile, and those that consume insects. Finally, our aproned host invites kids to get started on gardening, advising which basic gardening tasks can be accomplished in each of the four seasons and what tools young gardeners will need for the job.
