Great Grampa's Giving Garden was inspired by my father-in-law, Dick, and my great-nephew Landon Dick's great-grandson. Their connection, forged through their time spent in the garden together, and mutual love for growing things was the seed (pun intended) of inspiration for this book as well as the generosity of my father-in-law with the food he labors so lovingly to grow, only to give most away. He sets a fundamental example for Landon in demonstrating generosity in his bounty and helping others after teaching Landon how to truly be a responsible and respectful gardener. It is also a fact that because Great Grampa has given Landon such good gardening information, Landon has had success in his own garden at home and has continued for the past couple of years honing his garden skills with the encouragement of his garden guru, Great Grampa. If you or your child enjoy rhyming poems or have an interest in beginning your own vegetable patch, this is the book for you.
