Follow the captivating story of twin characters, Sam and Mia, as they begin to learn how to grow food, in pots, at home. Your child will actively participate, mirroring the steps of the two characters, and gradually transform into a budding gardener themselves!
With just pots and a small space (no big garden needed), your child can grow 10 different crops, guided by easy-to-follow planting instructions within the book. Plus, to track progress, the book has 20 weeks of daily diary pages where your child can document their observations of nature and the growing plants.
Is your child curious about nature, eager to explore the wonders of growing food?
Or maybe you find your youngster glued to a screen or bored so you are looking for an alternative?
Dear parents, in either case, we have an enriching solution that blends fun and education seamlessly through gardening:
Introducing My First Gardening Book - for Kids, a delightful book designed for children aged 6 to 10 and their parents, promising an exciting journey into the world of growing vegetables/fruit.
In today's busy school curriculum there's little time for such important and enriching experiences. School can't possibly cover the most important life skill of growing food so the responsibility of teaching children how to do this is entirely on parents.
But the fun doesn't stop there!
While waiting for the plants to grow, your child can enjoy:
10 engaging nature-related stories teaching valuable life lessons. Children develop love for reading when they are being read to!
10 mindful colouring pages linked to the stories. This allows your child time and space to ponder and reflect on the story lessons.
10 additional colouring pages for creative expression and writing.
Curious science, maths and English puzzles to develop logical thinking and reasoning skills.
Art and craft activities for artistic expression, raleted to the natural world.
Simple cooking ideas to turn their garden harvest into tasty treats!
and so much more!
Throughout the book, we've included "Parents' Corner" and "Tips for Parents" sections to support you every step of the way.
Plus, you will have an easy access to a free community of growers where you can ask questions and receive advice.
Gardening isn't just about playing in the dirt—it’s a powerful way for kids to develop key life skills while having fun. Here’s what gardening can do for them:

🌿 Connection to Nature: Gardening nurtures a love for the environment and helps children understand the cycles of life.
📚 Educational Growth: From identifying plant species to discovering the role of pollinators, every gardening moment is a chance to learn.

🏆 Sense of Accomplishment: Seeing the results of their hard work gives children pride and a confidence boost.
🧘♀️ Stress Relief: Gardening is a calming activity, offering kids a natural way to relax and de-stress.
My First Gardening Book for Kids is the perfect companion for nurturing these skills and more. Whether your child is planting their first seed or creating a garden masterpiece, they’ll grow in ways that extend far beyond the garden.
Remember, support is available every step of the way!
Desi Stefanova left her long fulltime teaching career to become a gardener and together with her husband Chris Ogle, they created a thriving organic food-producing garden. This is how the idea for a book that teaches children the basic skills of growing vegetables was born. My First Gardening Book - for Kids offers a unique opportunity for children and parents to bond over gardening, create lasting memories together and provide youngsters with the basic skills of growing food.
