This book encourages early childhood professionals to garden with children and provides information on why and how to incorporate gardening projects in any learning environment. It also explains the expansive learning opportunities that come with gardening.

This book addresses many childhood issues and gardening trends that have erupted since the book's first edition (Hollyhocks and Honeybees, ISBN 978-1-92961-020-4). It reflects growing concerns of children’s nature deficit and the obesity epidemic, and it provides a wider variety of gardening projects—such as vertical, green roof, and container gardens for limited-space or urban areas. It includes ways to involve infants and toddlers in the gardening projects, because though the youngest children are often left inside, they can and should participate in the experiences. New topics include building outdoor natural playscapes, connecting children to food sources and fostering healthy eating habits, documenting projects in the digital age, and tying emergent curriculum and the project approach to the gardening curriculum. These updates and a lower price give the book a wider appeal to more early childhood caregivers and educators in all settings.

Colorful photographs, more than thirty activities, and the authors’ extensive knowledge make it easy for novice and seasoned gardeners to involve children in gardening.
