Adventures in Backyard Gardening (Inspiring Young Gardeners to Grow Their Own Food)

One part how-to guide, one part garden journey, and one part educational adventure, this guide serves as a portal to the rich soils and seed beds of the backyard garden.

• community agriculture,
• composting,
• the fascinating world of fungi,
• raising backyard chickens, and
• beekeeping.
