On a tight budget? Introduce your children to the wonder of growing the family groceries and preparing simple recipes with the fruit of their labors.
Whether planting in the free (and sometimes unusual) containers suggested in Onions in My Boots or planting in the ground, your investment will be negligible*, but the rewardsâpriceless.
From gardening projects in this book, children will learn:
- Goal-setting
- Decision-making
- How to follow through on a project
- Patience
- Our Creator’s amazing plans and providence!
*If your first thought is, “Oh, no; how much is this hobby going to cost?” be reassured that this little book shows beginners how to garden “on the cheap.” (Gardening is one of the few hobbies that pays you to have fun.) In fact, depending on what you want to plant, you may not even have to buy seeds!

Nancy Nicholson is one of the founding authors of Catholic Heritage Curricula. Equipped with an abundance of God-given talent, a major in Secondary EducationâEnglish, and years of experience homeschooling her own children, she has written over thirty educational titles, beginning with Little Stories for Little Folks. Her unique ability to develop programs and workbooks that “fit” both advanced and struggling students is due to her experience raising children of different ability levels and learning styles: two of her children are developmentally challenged, while another went on to graduate from Harvard and is now a college professor.
