Watch Me Grow!: A Down-to-Earth Look at Growing Food in the CityKids Can Press Ltd, 2011 - 32 Seiten A charming introduction in words and photographs to growing food in the city. The companion title to Up We Grow! is another informative and inspiring book about small-scale, local farming. This time the focus is on raising food in cities, where it can be grown anywhere - on windowsills, balconies, yards, boulevards and even rooftops.
