Gardening Books For Kids

By no means do I have a green thumb, but my children do love to get out and into the garden.  Whether it’s planting flowers and sharing them with the neighbours, weeding the neighbourhood, or just watching the birds from our kitchen window they like to get out and enjoy nature.  Last week we ventured out for a walk and the kids took one of their flower ID books with them and had a great time looking up flowers.  This week’s selection is all about the garden, I’m sharing some of our top picks of gardening books for kids, and you can share your posts with us further below.
