Guide Review
Green Thumb Magic for the Great Indoors
Gardening Wizardry for Kids is more than just a how-to garden book; it explores the history and folklore of fruits,  vegetables and herbs. It was written for the children who don't have outdoor gardening space. It has science experiments and crafts that use inexpensive household materials.

The experiments are fun and easy to do. Each experiment includes a supplies list and instructions to conduct the experiment. It also encourages recording your hypothesis and conclusion. In the craft section, you'll find instructions to dry flowers, make corncob and cornhusk dolls, and gifts to give away.

Gardening Wizardry for Kids is great for all ages and would be a great addition to any homeschool library.
