Melita R –
Great guide for the Tower Garden. I love how Leah breaks down each aspect from growing to maintenance. There is a great format for planning the towers which makes it easier to map out where you plant(ed) what. I love that she included coloring pages for the kids as well a recipe and some activities in the book. There are beautiful illustrations throughout, and she even includes a great planting calendar! This book is the perfect guide for any family with Tower Gardens. You can tell the author took her time gathering and organizing information. Very beautifully crafted guide.
