Ag Literacy Project
Jackie and her garden friends embrace the joys of planting a garden, nurturing and harvesting their own food, and recycling scraps to compost, ensuring that the magical cycle of growth and sustainability continues anew. Every spread includes science facts about soil, plants, pollinators, decomposers, and more. This is a fantastic book to engage young readers in becoming environmental stewards, learning how to care for a garden, understanding a plant life cycle, discovering the power of pollinators, and understanding the importance of composting. The book includes information on the soil cycle and how to make a compost pile. An education guide is also available to accompany the book. These hardback books have special pricing for county Farm Bureaus at $4.75 each. Education guides are $1.00 each. Click here to download the order form.
