She loves to garden at my house and seems to find it empowering to trim the suckers off the photinia. However, I didn’t get any feedback about the book.
Earlier this year I was surprised to find that she had read the book from cover to cover and had been doing the seasonal activities from it all along.
We can’t be together or garden for a while so I send pictures to her parents to share with her.
She has enjoyed following the progress of this “bookshelf garden” that I keep in a sunny window. The leftovers of green onions, carrots, and radishes were planted and are now growing again.

Beverly’s bookshelf garden of repurposed kitchen scraps
I look forward to future in-person gardening projects with my grandaughter but until then I am thankful for this way of continuing our shared love of growing plants. This project has been a helpful tool for teaching propagation, the importance of recycling, and the joy of gardening.
Here is a link describing how children can make their own indoor edible gardens.

How wonderful that Beverly spends this quality time with her granddaughter, even through this time of “stay at home” routine. Thanks for sharing!
It’s interesting that the “groundwork” for this sharing of experience was laid several years ago. I think the bookshelf garden is adorable and appreciate Beverly’s willingness to share with us. Ann
