Overview
A delightful book to encourage young gardeners to plant, compost, and garden
Helena, a young girl who lives in a city, wants a garden. She visits her aunt in the country, where she learns about flowers. Her grandmother teaches her about native wildflowers and plants and her teacher introduces her to the insect life in dirt. With the help of her elderly gardening neighbor, the innovative Helena turns a pothole on her street into a vegetable garden. Soon the neighborhood catches on to the idea of gardening and Helena’s friends are planting gardens all over the city. The Pothole Garden is a charming children’s picture book that promotes the rewards of problem solving, building community, being good neighbors, and connecting with where and how to grow our food.
