Gardens are about growing and caring and learning new things every day. Gardening brings the generations together around the basic human instinct to grow. SECOND LEAVES, an unique introduction to gardens and gardening by Mary Agria, the best-selling author of TIME IN A GARDEN, is really three books in one. It is a storybook about gardens and growing for young children. It is an early reader and beginning How-To Garden Guide, and finally, with the help of Bonus Material (Grandma Says), it serves as a more challenging horticultural learning tool for the early grades.
