Grandpa told Mom, and Mom told me: The secret of a plant lives in every little seed. Seeds are truly amazing! Did you know that every seed, no matter how small (microscopic) or large (weighing up to 14 pounds), contains everything it needs to one day grow into a plant? Three generations of a gardening family work together to bring a backyard garden to full bloom.

Young readers are taken through each important step, beginning with planting in the spring and ending with harvesting in the fall. Rhyming text and lush artwork bring the wonders and joys of gardening to life and is the perfect book to read for children with gardens or window boxes! Back matter includes information about seeds.
