A beautifully illustrated children's guide to growing plants, from vegetables to wildflower meadows.

This is a gardening book for kids who like to get their hands dirty, plant whatever they like, create indoor jungles, and go on sneaky wildflower missions.

No matter how tiny your space, you can be a gardener. Livi Gosling has advice on creating a jungle in your bedroom using houseplants, scavenging from the recycling to create a vegetable kingdom of your own, and adding a splash of color to gray city streets with your own wildflower seed mix. With clear step-by-step instructions on how to get seeds, plant them, and help them grow, and plenty of inspiration and helpful tips, this book will help you get started with your very first gardening projects.
Livi Gosling studied illustration in Cornwall before returning back to her hometown in Hertfordshire. Livi draws inspiration from travel, nature and food. When she isn’t illustrating, you’ll find her walking in the countryside, cooking, or tending to her vegetable garden. After getting an allotment in 2019, she discovered a love of gardening that intensified during lockdown 2020. Her allotment was a safe haven throughout scary, uncertain times that Livi is very grateful for. Livi has since moved on to building a kitchen garden in her new home and is passionate about gardening for wellbeing. View titles by Livi Gosling
