Review Detail

Secret Gardeners: Growing a Community and Healing the Earth was a beautiful read.

The story is fiction, starting with young children playing spy games in their neighborhood, which leads to them helping with a community garden and so much more!
In addition to the fun story, each page is teeming with facts about gardening, pollinators, and the like. Secret Gardeners is aimed at children six and up, however I think children on the younger side of this range may be overwhelmed with the amount of text on the pages.

The warm colored pencil-crayon illustrations are gorgeous. There is so much diversity shown on the pages, kids will have a fun time pointing things out.

There is more fun and educational information found in the backmatter. My children and I learned so much from reading this story, we cannot wait to implement some of these idea into our garden this year.

Highly recommend!
