Last week our missions group made 21 raised beds in a very small urban area to help teach the kids in the hood how to grow and eat better. I need all the information I can to help teach them how to take care of their garden. what ever you can teach us that would be great. do you have a place where I could find out how to show them the different stages of growth from the different veg. I am only a hobby gardener but would love to help teach these children how to grow their own food. this will help them for life. pk

[...] Several bloggers wrote glowing reviews of the book. Thank you so much. I have to tell you that one of the scariest things about making a book is releasing it into the world. I can’t speak for anyone else but I get when I sit down to write the first words; I get REALLY scared the week I am due to hand in the manuscript; and I get INSANELY scared the week it is due on store shelves. Only I know what I went through in the process of making the book. I know what I originally wrote but had to cut for length, what the publisher wanted to change, or how that one picture is not the better one that I really wanted to use but couldn’t. Only I know the book that I set out to make and whether or not this book is THAT book. Those experiences are such a big part of how I feel about it that it is difficult, almost impossible, to separate myself and have an opinion or judgment about the final product as it is. But all that matters once it goes out there is whether you, the reader, can read it, want to read it, and whether or not you find it useful. [...]

I don’t have a porch where I can grow things (if i did I would be much more active as a gardner) but I love growing fresh herbs on my windowsill. They are so useful and then you don’t have to constantly buy them from the store. That looks like a beautiful book. I can’t wait to read it!

I love growing geraniums & herbs ~ basil, rosemary, thyme, chives, etc. This amazing book could improve my thumb’s chances of becoming green!

I haven´t been successful in growing much, unfortunately – yes, some houseplants survive, but I´d love to be able to grow things to eat as well. I´m moving in a couple of weeks, and I´ll have a balcony, perfect for a mini garden. So I´d love to win this book!
