Critics Review
“My life with kids has been devoted to their art and creativity, and I’m so pleased to find
“My life with kids has been devoted to their art and creativity, and I’m so pleased to find The Garden Classroom is absolutely sprouting with richly creative ways to use the garden.

Cathy James has been delighting me for years with her blog, and this book puts her inspiring garden ideas right at my fingertips and green thumb.“—MaryAnn F. Kohl, author of Discovering Great Artists, Preschool Art, and 20 other art books for kids
