Thanks, Mary, for information about your books. I will look forward to checking them out.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is publishing a new handbook "Gardening with Children". Hopefully this be helpful to many people as our handbooks are well known. It will be available as part of membership in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in May 2007 and to the general public in June 2007. The book is based on the almost 100 year experience of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's children's garden. It will be filled with activities. For more about the book, keep posted to our website www.bbg.org Ellen Kirby, Director Brooklyn GreenBridge Brooklyn Botanic Garden -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:community_garden-bounces at list.communitygarden.org] On Behalf Of MQuattle at aol.com Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2006 8:12 AM To: community_garden at list.communitygarden.org Subject: [Community_garden] need advice on children's gardening books I have been an avid reader and appreciator of this listserv and for years had a plot in a community garden in Washington, DC. I'm also the author of children's books, including the Jackson Jones chapter-book series, published by Random House, about a boy and his adventures with his city community garden. The third book, Jackson Jones and the Curse of the Outlaw Rose, comes out soon and I'd like to include a "tip sheet" with associated mailings/events. What books, from your experience, have you found most helpful/enjoyable when working with kids and gardens? (These could be how-to or fiction/poetry related to kids and gardens.) And do you have any garden-related crafts activities that can be done in classroom that have worked especially well? I'm going to include a few from my own experience but would love to learn of others. Many thanks for any and all suggestions!
