The Window Box Book

Drawing from her teaching experience, Karen Fausch has designed 12 irresistible and sure-to-succeed window box gardens for children to plant and cultivate. Each has a theme and related activity. For example, the Jack-Be-Little Box has mini pumpkins and instructions for carving initials that grow as the jack-o'-lantern does. By following the simple instructions, children will learn gardening skills they can use for a lifetime, including how to mix potting soil, fertilize, water, control light and temperature, and identify insects.
