They have to learn about soil and compost while their classmates get to study exotic plants and butterflies. Although things get a little messy (and stinky) in his class, Mr. Butternut knows the secret to growing a great garden. Read along to get all the dirt on your favourite vegetables, from seed to harvest!

Alexis Frederick-Frost is an author and illustrator whose books are distinguished by their accessible art, humor, and informative content. He wants all kids to experience the power and play of comics, which is why he and two friends co-wrote and illustrated the award-winning Adventures in Cartooning series of graphic novels. Compared to comics, gardening was a lot harder for Alexis to learn. His first garden faced an army of invading slugs, late spring snow storms, and a voracious groundhog-but he managed to harvest enough veggies to share. He now cultivates a collection of pampered orchids, a few of which make a cameo in this book.
