10 chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the child's garden: active play, furniture, water, growing things, wildlife, celebrations, safety, etc. After a brief introduction, each chapter then includes instructions for 4-6 projects to add this element to your yard/garden. Some of the really fun ideas: daffodil maze, foldaway playhouse, water serpent, lawn crocodile, kid-sized wildlife container pond, grass stools, and more.

I loved this book! The pictures are fantastic and feature real children really doing the activities listed in real gardens! A strange idea that seems to be missing from some DYI books. I have a strawberry fountain growing right now and the beans are sprouting for the teepee. I have tried the teepee before but I didn't have enough sticks. I love the spider web climber!
I got this book from the library and plan on buying it someday. It has wonderful color pictures with descriptions of many great ideas.
This book has some really great ideas for making your yard a fun place for kids. I'm hoping to use some of the ideas this spring.
One of my very favorite children's gardening books!! Great ideas!
