"Over three years, our flat weedy piece of ground gradually evolved into a highly productive food generating garden. Being almost complete novices at gardening, it didn’t occur to us to record what we were doing during the first two years and it wasn’t until the third year that we realised we could significantly improve our efficiency and results by keeping a record of what we are doing and when. With one book dedicated to the garden (Garden Companion Handbook) we could record the successes as well as the lessons learned. 

While working on the Garden Companion Handbook, Chris suggested that we should make a book for children too.  With intimate knowledge of the primary school curriculum, Desi was the right person for this project and so "My First Gardening Book - for Kids" emerged through our experiences.
It was created to assist parents in teaching their children the life skill of growing food, to provide ideas for further exploration, to encourage curiosity and wonder with the natural world. 
We hope your youngster and you enjoy using the book."  ~Desi & Chris 

From the first spade in the ground to where we are today, our blog has documented every step of our gardening journey.  "Allotmenting In Pictures" shares the ups and downs, the lessons and the celebrations. We hope you find it useful.

When we are not in the garden, we hang out in our online community. It is free to join and serves as a place to connect with other fellow gardeners. Scan the QR code and your phone will take you to the "Garden Growers" on an App called Discord. Alternatively, click on the picture.
