Review

This is not your typical gardening book. It does have features you'll find in many gardening books-great photos and explanations of how to grow things- but in this book you are going to learn how to grow plants from table scraps. What makes it really cool is that many of these scraps aren't started from seeds but from part of the plant. One of my favorites was using the top of a pineapple to grow your own pineapple plant. In addition it discusses many plant processes, directions on how to make newspaper seedling pots and recipes for every plant they talk about. Such a cool book. Great for science classrooms or home projects and you don't need lots of fancy stuff to try the projects.

Overall Book Score: excellent
