Charlene's Garden A Children's Guide to Gardening

To Gardening Enthusiasts,

The objective of this book is to introduce children of all 

ages to a "green passion." This will provide them skills

far into the future affecting many lives beyond their time

and forever. 

The skills children acquire from gardening include: 

caring for something besides one's own self, compassion,

self-expression, learning, love, nurturing, passion, 

patience, persistence, responsibility and self-discipline. 

The lessons children learn and retain for a lifetime 

to share with others are in: 

Art - with colors, shapes, design and drawings

Mathematics - with addition, subtraction, 

                measurements and weights 

Science - with equations, formulas, measures and volumes 

This book is a children's version of

Volumes I and II, Solving the Landscape Puzzle

without the "adult speak," omitting the technical details

about landscape design. I also left out the information

about chemical control for insects, disease and weeds

which are grownup responsibilities anyway.
