In the Garden Textbook is filled with vivid illustrations and stunning photos that really draw you into the book. The text is very conversational and helps you see connections between family, gardening, community, and our environment. New lessons also connect what was learned in prior lessons. If you don’t have a large garden spot - raised beds, containers, or a small backyard plot will work just fine. There are also illustrations of popular fruits, vegetables, legumes, and herbs with planting and harvest notes along with “caring” tips and interesting history behind them. Each lesson varies in page length with plenty of engaging visuals alongside the text. Use with the Workbook for grades K-2 or Workbook for grades 3-5. It’s even a wonderful resource all on its own! ~ Gina

Description
"In the Garden" is a 30-lesson softcover gardening textbook written to be read aloud by any parent - no experience required. Each lesson is approximately 500 words, covering foundational garden concepts from soil health and seed selection through planting, tending, composting, and harvest. Lessons are fully hand-illustrated and written in a warm, conversational tone that makes read-aloud time feel natural. No prep is ever required - open the book and read.
The softcover edition contains identical content to the hardcover and pairs directly with both the K–2nd and 3rd–5th Grade workbooks, making it a one-book solution for multi-age families. Recommended pace is 1–2 lessons per week across one growing season, though the self-paced format accommodates any schedule. Sold separately or as part of the full "In the Garden" Bundle with 30 Video Lessons.
