Secret Garden Activity Set

Inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett's children's classic, this kit introduces kids to gardening with an enchantingly illustrated book filled with fun hands-on activities for young gardeners, as well as tools for the garden.

With "a bit of earth" and a little grown-up encouragement, young gardeners will learn to grow flowers as lovely as Mary's and vegetables as robust as Dickon's. Budding scientific investigators, like Colin, will discover how to catch butterflies in the act of pollinating, and by using the bug viewer will learn about bugs.

The book includes secrets to planting a blooming spring garden and cultivating roses, the ABCs of sowing vegetable seeds and reaping delicious results, tips for keeping a neat weed-free garden and fascinating close-ups of garden-friendly insects and birds.

The kit contains a wooden-handled trowel, 20 wooden garden markers with 21 stickers for plant names and bug viewer with two magnifiers, plus a detachable lid with air holes for specimens.
