Growing plants

Plants come in countless varieties, and nearly all of them, from the lawn under your shoes to the produce on your dinner plate, grow from something very small. This book shows young gardeners how to raise plants themselves, whether the goal is a row of vegetables or a patch of blooms. Its central lesson is that most plants start as tiny seeds. Readers follow the steps of watering those seeds and caring for the first shoots that push up through the soil, and come to understand how central this process is to life on Earth. Bright photographs and short, plain sentences guide each stage.
