My Delicious Garden
A girl lovingly tends to her garden through the seasons
In the depths of winter, one young girl is already dreaming of planting her very own vegetable garden. In January, she sketches out the rows of lettuce, the trellis for the peas, and a large plot for the tomatoes while she waits for warmer weather. March is time for sowing, and April gives way to the first leaves of her seedlings.
As the seasons change from spring to summer, she (with the help of her moms) spreads compost and turns up the soil to finally plant her veggies into the earth. As the months go by, she lovingly weeds, waters, and cares for her garden until it’s time to harvest a bounty big enough to share with all their friends! My Delicious Garden celebrates the joy of growing food from seed and is a cozy exploration of the connections between nature, food, and community.
Book Review: What a great book. With Earth day around the corner and more people than ever gardening. Read this book to your kids or classroom. About a girl who loves gardening and as the year progresses, she goes from planning her garden to planting, to watering, to harvesting — all the while enjoying the process.
Each summer, children tend the garden, pull weeds, plant seeds, and learn about the food chain. Guests come to the library to talk about worms and beekeeping. Harvests never disappoint, and most of the produce goes home with the children who participated.
Anything extra is left out in front of the circulation desk for anyone to take.
