This Guide has five sections and is laid out in the following
format:
- Introduction: Some
background on Stephen Ritz and How To Use This Guide. (This is the
section you're reading right now).
- Plan: You've read the
intro, now it's time to make your plan. This section walks you
through how to choose the type of garden project you're going to
do, the supplies and tools you'll need, and even provide you with a
few ideas for sample projects.
- Plant: The fun part! This
is where you get your hands dirty by planting your garden. We give
you instructions for planting indoors and outdoors.
- Maintain: This is the
not-as-fun (but necessary, and still kind of fun) part. This
section will show you how to care for your garden, whether it's
indoors or outdoors.
- Celebrate!: One of the
most important parts of planting a garden is celebrating it! This
section provides a few suggestions for how to make sure you have
the most fun possible with your garden projects.
As you read through this Guide, remember that there isn't a
"right" or "wrong" way to plant a garden. Variables like the age of
your children and size of the available space in your home or yard
will affect the type of garden project you take on, so embrace
those unique characteristics and build a garden that fits
your life.
Now: let's get started!
