This book put an end to my search for a GREAT gardening book to which my boys,ages 4&7, could immediately relate.The beautiful and precise detail of the illustrations grabbed their attention and stimulated many great ideas for how the imaginative plans and designs could be used in our raised garden. The suggestions for creating special little spaces such as the canopied walkway using morning glories grown up the sunflower stalks or the gourd tee-pee with the snap bean entry way really got them excited. What's great is that no suggestion is too complicated for a small child's first time gardening attempt or so simple as to be dull or predictable for an older child or adult. I 'm really enjoying the garden tips that I've never come across in my 15 or so years of gardening. I've recommended this book to a farmer friend and a long-time teacher who also found this book to enchanting. The authors could teach a thing or two to most authors of adult gardening books as well. This really is a "must have."

Roots, Shoots, Buckets and Boots is a delightful collection of gardening projects and personal experience. Ms. Lovejoy's incredible book not only educates -- it inspires you. It makes you want to get out into the garden and have fun. It's the perfect book for kids and adults. Highly recommend it for anyone who has a child in his/her life -- or for anyone who still has the child within them. Especially wonderful are the illustrations. What a magical book!

What an inspirational gardening book - for kids AND adults!

This book was an impulse buy for me at a local department store. Boy am I glad I trusted my impulse! This book provides kids with easy to follow garden "recipes". A great book for parents and grandparents who want to share the joys of gardening with the children in their lives. The idea gardens presented make it difficult for kids to resist the urge to get out and grow something in their backyard! My kids are having a hard time deciding which 2 (or 3, or 4) gardens to try this next Spring!
