Beschreibung:
Beatrys Lockie was born in Holland in 1927 and at an early age began telling stories to anyone who would listen. She was a class teacher at the Edinburgh Rudolf Steiner School, where stories form an integral part of teaching in the early years. She has also been a passionate gardener since childhood and tends an organic garden, which she opens each year to the public for charity. She lives in the Scottish Borders.
Gardening with Young Children is a lively and imaginative guide to a child's experience of a year in a garden. Experienced gardener Beatrys Lockie explains the basic techniques, from sowing the seeds to harvesting the produce, and gives instructions for cultivating easily grown flowers, herbs, and vegetables.
