In this groundbreaking resource, two school garden pioneers offer parents, teachers, and school administrators everything they need to know to build school gardens and to develop the programs that support them. Today both schools and parents have a unique opportunity — and an increasing responsibility — to cultivate an awareness of our finite resources, to reinforce values of environmental stewardship, to help students understand concepts of nutrition and health, and to connect children to the natural world. What better way to do this than by engaging young people, their families, and teachers in the wondrous outdoor classroom that is their very own school garden?
With full-color photographs and growing information for more than 1,000 tried-and-tested plants, AHS Plants for Places is the perfect pocket-sized guide for trips to the garden center and nursery. Now fully revised and updated!

This book ushers you into many worlds, all of them our world. It is full of voices, sounds, and people. Stay with them, and they will stay with you. The stories here represent eight tenths of a year. A year that kept slipping, yet also kept giving.Their writers gave them freely, and we do, too.Like all stories, they work in a thousand ways. Some lull, some lure. Some pinch, some stretch.Some are like a thicket, some a formal garden; others seem like valleys slick with rain. All replenish and reward.
