Yates Gardening for Children

By MARGIE THOMSON

The perfect gift to encourage a child away from the telly and into the garden.

Written in a lively, accessible style, it provides fascinating facts about the ecosystem just a few steps from your back door and suggests some great projects: planting orange trees in old boots; growing bean sprouts and avocado trees and having a sunflower-growing race.

It even comes with its own pack of sunflower seeds.
