Publisher's Synopsis
A family guide to growing fruit & veg
Have you ever wondered how plants work and how they get their food? Or why we eat the fruit of one plant and the leaf of another? What's the big deal about growing things - and how do we decide what we need to grow in the space we have?
In Grow, Ben Raskin shares his expert knowledge, in this funky guide for families who are new to edible gardening, looking at the whole life cycle of food, from seed sowing and saving to planning and planting, and-most exciting of all - harvesting the food that you've grown. From planting your very own pizza toppings to becoming runner bean rivals!, and learning that a strawberry is actually lots of little strawberries, teach your kids that growing fruit and vegetables is easy and fun, and eating food that you have produced together is even better.
Complete with stickers, runner-bean measuring chart, a fruit pairs game, and a rainbow taste wheel, Grow offers your family the inspiration to get out there and get planting.
