“Matthews celebrates the antithesis of the look-but-don’t-touch, no-kids-allowed landscapes with whimsical garden projects designed especially for the young...[He] carefully walks even the most tool-challenged adult through easy step-by-step instructions for more than 35 dynamic projects, depicted in eye-popping photographs.”—Booklist. “Interesting, entertaining, and edu-cational for children and the young-at-heart.”—Library Journal. Gardens can be great getaways for kids, and with these 50 colorfully illustrated, simple projects even the smallest lawn can become a childrens paradise. Without compromising on safety, your pocketbook, or the gardens finished look, you can build brilliant hideaways such as flower teepees and washing line tents or construct innovative play structures including mindboggling mazes and climbing walls. Watch your child blossom in a landscape that inspires imaginative play, provides physical challenges, and nurtures an interest in nature.
