Comments
Wow, I haven't been to that place in years! This sounds like a great book to read and for those like me close enough the Gardens is a great place to visit.
Looks like a great resource on a rainy day~ 40 different projects. That would keep parents/kids busy! Looks like there are also very good illustrations.
This sounds like a great resource. I don't know if I've ever been to a children's garden. Now I want to see one.
