Grow flavor. Grow plants! Discover 15 plants with incredible powers, then learn how to grow them. Meet each plant's surprising relations (did you know the tasty tomato is a cousin of deadly nightshade?) and discover their history (bromeliads defended themselves against dinosaurs!).

This fully illustrated guide to growing is the perfect introduction to plants for families everywhere."--Amazon.ca.
