The Children's Book of Gardening

"The Children's Book of Gardening" by Alfred Sidgwick is a how-to book that teaches kids the basics of gardening, probably from around the start of the 1900s. It acts like a simple lesson book, explaining the easy parts of gardening so kids can understand. You'll probably find stuff about planning a garden, learning about different kinds of soil, and taking care of flowers and other plants. The book starts by talking about the first things you need to do to make a garden, saying it's important to keep it neat and tidy. It also says you need to know what kind of place your garden is and what kind of soil it has before you pick what to grow. The writer says you should make paths so you can get around and wants kids to try gardening even if they're not great at it, so everyone can have fun growing plants and feeling good about nature.
