Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
And cockle shells,
With silver bells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

Or what silver bells are?
Do you have a curious child that wants to know more about the plants around them and that brown stuff they grow in? Want to explain the importance of soil and what exactly dirt is? Interested in the life cycle of different plants and the insects that help them grow? Library resources can answer these questions and more.
You can explore flowers and how they grow.
The tiny friends that live in the garden and in our dirt.
And what it takes to grow the food we eat!
Each of the books above link back to our online catalog.
