Book Description
From tiny seed to a huge, fold-out bloom, the transformative life cycle of a sunflower plays out in this bold read-aloud. A Sibert Honor Book! A Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book! To understand how a seed becomes a sunflower, you have to peek beneath the soil and wait patiently as winding roots grow, a stalk inches out of the earth, and new seeds emerge among blooming petals. "A seed falls, And settles into the ground, And the Sun shines, And the rain comes down, And the seed grows…" Leading up to a striking fold-out spread of a full-grown sunflower, the lively, bold illustrations in A Seed Grows offer a close-up view of each step of the growth cycle. Additional material in the back of the book explains the science of plant life cycles, and goes into more detail on the ways in which flowers and seeds depend on other creatures. Antoinette Portis is the author of A New Green Day, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and NCTE Notable Book in Poetry, as well as the Sibert Honor winning Hey, Water!

Book Description
How do you make a garden grow? In this playful companion to the popular Tap the Magic Tree and Touch the Brightest Star, you will see how tiny seeds bloom into beautiful flowers. And by tapping, clapping, waving, and more, young readers can join in the action! Christie Matheson masterfully combines the wonder of the natural world with the interactivity of reading. Beautiful collage-and-watercolor art follows the seed through its entire life cycle, as it grows into a zinnia in a garden full of buzzing bees, curious hummingbirds, and colorful butterflies. Children engage with the book as they wiggle their fingers to water the seeds, clap to make the sun shine after rain, and shoo away a hungry snail. Appropriate for even the youngest child, Plant the Tiny Seed is never the same book twice—no matter how many times you read it! And for curious young nature lovers, a page of facts about seeds, flowers, and the insects and animals featured in the book is included at the end. Fans of Press Here, Eric Carle, and Lois Ehlert will find their next favorite book in Plant the Tiny Seed.

Book Description
If you want to grow healthy vegetables at home, but have hesitated because it seems too hard and time consuming, Organic Gardening for Everyone is your perfect hands-on guide—an “if I can do it, you can do it” case study that addresses your concerns and gets you started. Loaded with practical advice and step-by-step guidance, Organic Gardening for Everyone takes a very personal and friendly approach to a subject that can be intimidating. It is a first-class primer on organic vegetable gardening, and an inspirational story about how anyone can balance the rigors of gardening with the demands of a modern, family-oriented lifestyle. In 2012, a California mom decided to start an organic vegetable garden. But she went about it in an unusual way: she crowdsourced it by launching a YouTube channel under the name "CaliKim" and asking for help. And then she started planting. As questions came up, she turned to her viewers and subscribers and they replied with answers and advice. As she learned, her garden grew successfully—even in the hot, harsh California climate. Her expertise also grew, and now she answers many more questions than she asks and has become a very accomplished home gardener. And CaliKim has a great story to tell: growing healthy organic vegetables for your family is not difficult, even for today’s time-challenged lifestyles. She provides complete step-by-step information on growing the most popular edibles organically, and also gives sound advice on how to take on the challenges of balancing a hectic lifestyle with successful growing—and how to involve the whole family in the process. You'll be rewarded for your effort every time you place a plate of natural, organic vegetables on the family dinner table knowing exactly what they are, what is in them, and where they came from.

Book Description
Ready to get growing? Not sure where to begin? Pressed for space but have big garden goals? This is the book for you!No matter how big or small your garden plans, no matter how small your indoor space may be, you can grow all the vegetables, herbs, and flowers you need for any outdoor garden, big or small. Can you spare eight square feet of space in your home? That's a matter of just two by four feet of floor space; but in it, you can grow literally hundreds of individual plants. This book will walk you through the entire process from start to finish-from seed germination through potting up, setting up a cheap and easy grow light shelf, and on through maintaining those plants to hardening off and getting them ready to grow outdoors. Whether you are an experienced seed-starter looking for economical space-saving seedling solutions or you are new to growing and gardening, this start-to-finish process will get you up and running, on your way to growing delicious, nutritious homegrown goodness. Even if you've struggled with weak and leggy transplants in the past, this method will solve those problems and help you finally achieve your dream of a garden grown 100% from scratch by you. It works for most every type of plant including vegetables, herbs, perennials, annuals, flowers, and some small fruits and berries. It's a small investment and a level of self-sustainability that will serve you well for many years to come! Anyone with a few feet of usable space, a hardware store, and an outlet can grow all of their outside plants. And with that ability, comes control. Control over growing methods, seed selection, planting time, and more. What is important to you? Organic? GMO/GE-free? Conventional growing? Open pollinated and seed saving? Heirlooms? Yield-maximizing hybrids?Whatever your growing goals, whatever your priorities, the best way to reach them (and the most affordable, too), is to start seeds yourself and grow your garden transplants. All you need is a reliable method and the right tools. It's all inside.When you grow your garden plants yourself, you have that complete control. You can choose the exact seed type and variety, select for traits such as disease resistance, nutritional profile, flavor, and adaptability to your location and soils (among others). You are no longer limited by local availability and the choices the greenhouse made for you. You do not need to settle for the few commercially-focused plants on offer. You can plant on your own timeline, start plants for succession planting, and play with plants that the locals have never offered you before. You CAN grow your own food and plants from seed. Learn: - Why you should grow your own plants from seed- When to start your own seeds, with the help of noted resources and local plant timing- How to germinate seeds intensively in small pots- How to "pot up" your seedlings for continued strong growth and individual transplanting- How to correct early growing issues like legginess and weak stems- How to make a grow light setup that is inexpensive, effective, and requires no special space or tools (for much less than the cost of expensive grow lights)- How to build that setup from everyday hardware store items- How to fit more plants in a small-space footprint by going up and creating a shelf system-still with easily accessed, locally-available items!- How to maintain your plants as they gain size and strength for life outdoors-including how to fertilize indoors seedlings, managing your vegetables and flowers under grow lights, watering, and disease prevention- How to "harden off" your vegetables, herbs, and flower plants to get them ready for the rigors of outdoor living- How to know when it's safe for your plants to live full-time outdoors in your garden or patio container gardenPlus money-saving and cost-sharing tips.
