If Only We'd Had Books Like These

... when I was a kid. I might have had better luck with my early gardening efforts!  In honour of Earth Day, Jo-Ann Roberts and I chatted on CBC's All Points West about some of the amazing gardening books that are available for children and teenagers. Do have any favourites to add to the list? Let me know and I'll post them here...
