Organic Gardening for Home and
Schools Leonie Shanahan
‘If they grow it, they’ll eat it”, is Shanahan’s motto. She
knows what she’s talking about – Shanahan has set up over 15
schools with edible gardens and runs a permakids garden
workshop.
This useful book is geared towards warmer climates and combines
permaculture and organic gardening basics. It is structured
into lesson plans with worksheets and step by step photos for
projects around the garden.
Topics covered include the full cycle from seed planting to seed
saving, making a herb spiral and other theme gardens, the
intricacies of compost, worm pipes and lots more.
There’s also a monthly guide to suitable jobs for kids to do in
the garden. Lots of bright colour photos illustrate the
ideas.
After your children read this, you pretty much retire in a
deckchair with a gin and tonic and watch the produce flow in!
