Gardens for Children
A Sill, a Bag, and No Yard
For the child whose land is a window
William Vincent Carleton
For children whose garden is a window, a step, or a bright table. Ada's city cousin Len grows basil, chives and mint in tins, and potatoes in a bag he tops up with soil on Saturdays. Gently practical, this seventh Gardens for Children book shows which windows suit which plants, keeps heat and knives with a grown hand, and reminds every small grower that a tin is a plot if you are the one who waters it.
