The best way to introduce the wonder of God’s world of plants, forests,
and gardens to a 6-9 year old child is by bright pictures, delightful
descriptions, simple and clear explanations, and hands- on life
applications. Intended as a basic, yet thorough introduction to plants,
this primary course is produced by Tamela Sechrist — homeschooling mom,
consummate gardener, enthusiastic biologist, and committed follower of
the Lord Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that your child will find this work
engaging and exciting, and that he or she become a lifelong enthusiast
of God’s amazing world of plants!
Generations Science: God Made Plants is a delightful
introduction to botany and biomes, with a concluding project of sowing and
growing a garden. Written with elementary children in mind, the God Made Plants Text is
meant to be read aloud by the parent and uses child-friendly language that is
engaging and understandable. The softcover text includes full-color photographs
and illustrations. There are nine units, each with four chapters. Each unit
contains a memory verse and a hymn to learn. The NKJV Bible is used. The

more. A supplies list is included at the beginning of the Activity Book. The
