Grow a Garden: Sustainable Foods

A great way to eat healthy foods is to grown them. This book addresses many points a young person should consider when planting a garden.  Choosing the right kind of soil and how to tell, is presented first.  Because some foods grow easily from seeds and some from established plants, suggestions are given.  Next, placement of seeds or plants in the garden are suggested as well as how to tell when it is time to water.  This 32 page book has many useful hints on how to be a successful gardener.  “Signs” of additional facts are found on many pages.  The book is well organized, information is accurate, and the reader is encouraged to ask an adult or check with a garden store if further questions arise.  Text is easily read, illustrations are colorful and are well chosen to support text.  The Abdo Book Links site has many books and recipes.  Also included are a glossary and an index.
