Growing and harvesting an herb garden can be fun and oh so
satisfying--even in the dead of winter.
Winter outside the window,
Garden on the sill.
With a little bit of love and care, a few seeds nestled in pots, and a
good windowsill, there's no better time to make an herb garden with mom
than in the dead of winter. Together, a young girl and her mother can
grow everything you find in a spring herb garden, from oregano to
parsley and baby greens, carefully tending their plants to watch them
thrive, all while frigid snow falls just outside the window. The
multiple harvests of fresh greens are just what they need to stay warm
through the coldest and darkest season. When Spring finally arrives,
there's one thing on the girl's mind: more seeds!
In Wintergarden, author Janet Fox's poetic text is accompanied by the
dreamy watercolor artwork of acclaimed illustrator Jasu Hu. Additional
material at the back of the book includes information on how to grow
your own wintergarden, to make sure you and your family can share fresh
greens year-round.
