My Garden Journal: A "How To" Garden Book for Kids

Gardening is a learned skill — everyone has to start somewhere, and a journal is the best way to improve your gardening skills, ensuring more successes and fewer failures.

The intent of this journal is to teach basic gardening techniques while providing a place to record your journey, with important information on the "how, when, and where" of growing food and flowers.

There are suggestions for themed gardens such as "A Harry Potter Garden," "A Young Chef's Garden," and a "Monarch Butterfly Superhero Garden" for budding naturalists, along with places to either sketch or photograph plants to remember their appearance for the next growing season.

You'll be amazed at how much you will learn by journaling about your garden!
