Books are a terrific way to integrate the school garden and the curriculum. With the current interest in school gardens so high, there are many books written about children’s gardens and gardening—too many for us to share here and keep current. We will list a few of our favorites.  You can find a synopsis and further information for these and others on Google, Amazon, Junior Master Gardeners, PBS Adventures in Learning, Pinterest, and other sources  We recommend narrowing your search using parameters for grade level, fiction or non-fiction, plants or animals in the garden, vegetables, cooking, creating gardens, garden activities, garden lessons, garden picture books, or garden literature for children. 

Our recommendations are organized by the intended audience.  For educators, we have Creating School Garden Programs, and Curricula and Activities.  We have grouped picture books into fiction, non-fiction, and garden related literature categories.
