How Does My Garden Grow? Gerda Muller
SEASONAL STORY
In How Does My Garden Grow?, Gerda Muller‘s illustrations accurately depict the garden and its plants throughout spring, summer, fall and winter. This is a great introduction to gardening and where food comes from for children.
In the story, Sophie lives in the city, and her vegetables come from the supermarket. Then she goes to visit her grandparents in the countryside–and soon discovers how much there is to learn about how things grow.
Sophie helps her grandfather through the different seasons, finding out about mulching onions, eating flowers, weeding, bees, making salad, catching beetles, digging, earthing up, picking and composting.
