My 1st Garden

My 1st Garden is a joyful, hands-on guide for kids who love getting their hands dirty, experimenting, and growing things their own way.

Designed for young gardeners of all kinds—and all spaces—this book shows that you don’t need a big yard to grow plants. Whether it’s creating a jungle in your bedroom with houseplants, turning recycled containers into a mini vegetable garden, or sneaking a little color into the city with a wildflower seed mix, gardening is possible anywhere.

With clear, step-by-step instructions, kids learn how to find seeds, plant them, care for them, and watch them grow. Along the way, the book encourages creativity, curiosity, and confidence—reminding readers that there’s no single “right” way to garden.
