The Next Generation... teaching about gardens.

Exciting the next generation of gardeners is important. I found this 1982 children's book from Japan in my collection, and decided that it was a great example of illustrating what is under foot in the garden. This book enlightens the reader by realistically illustrating the structures that exist below the soil level. It is a simple concept, highlights the more common plant forms that a child might recognise, and places them in a familiar context. A very worthwhile read!
