apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

What we particularly like about this book is that its focus is on indoor gardening - perfect for apartment dwellers or others without access to a yard or garden. Author Tina Davis mixes science lessons with vintage illustrations, puzzles and fun activities. In February she explains how to grow a carrot, avocado or even a pineapple right in your kitchen. Creating a terrarium is the topic for July.

The book's reading level is ages 9-12, but younger kids will be able to enjoy the activities with your help. A nice detail is the book is bound to lie flat so you can easily keep it open for reference while your hands are full of dirt.
