With very simple means, children nine and older can beautify their window sills, press flowers, create pictures from petals, make cosmetics from fruits and vegetables, learn which blossoms are edible, upcycle vases and flower pots and, of course, learn how to stick seeds in the ground. Once they are done, they can preserve and record it all in this plant book.
- 37 ideas focused on gardens and plants - no theories, easy to get started
- A plant journal to fill, record and paint
