"As an experienced farmer myself, I think the book is a wonderful approach to the complex and wondrous world of gardening and growing one's own food... I believe it will serve as a useful guide for anyone approaching this new world and inciting the passion to be a lifelong gardener."

"Teachers and parents are always looking for different, fun ways to interact with children with special needs. As a teacher in special education for the past 33 years, I am thrilled with Dr. Majuri's systematic, month-by-month gardening book. The social and emotional learning activities presented in this enchanting book are so unique! Dr. Majuri reveals throughout each chapter, the relationship qualities imparted when children and adults plan, dig, plant, grow and harvest their creations!"
