A BABY'S GARDEN is a lovely way for gardening parents to introduce their love of horticulture and nature with their most precious new addition. The opening page has a frame to put the little one's picture in. Each section has a list of suggested activities followed by pages to record your adventures in. The cutest thing is a place to put babies' muddy handprints during different stages of their growth. Babies love the chance to get dirty without Mom or Dad panicking.

There are a couple of pages in the back with wax paper type envelopes attached where you can press the child's first flowers, leaves, etc. As a gardener I believe this would be a wonderful way to explore the garden with your infant and allow both parent and child to experience the joys of the garden and continue learning.
