Sophie lives in the city, where vegetables come from the supermarket — until she visits her grandparents in the countryside and discovers the magic of a real garden. Through the seasons she learns about mulching onions, eating flowers, weeding, bees, making salad, catching beetles, digging, and composting. A wonderful book for children to learn about vegetable gardening through Sophie's eager, questioning eyes, with Gerda Muller's characterful illustrations accurately depicting the garden through spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
