Summary: A girl and her Nana garden together. As the seasons pass, they are watching closely to see what happens in the garden and imagine what is happening underground, where the earthworms, pillbugs, and other small animals are improving the soil and helping gardeners in other ways. “Every garden is a community garden,” the author says in an afterword. “You may work hard planting seeds and pulling weeds, but plants can’t thrive without the help of all those smaller gardeners down in the dirt.” (Miller Library Staff)Summary: "Up in the garden, the world is full of green--leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But down in the dirt there is a busy world of earthworms digging, snakes hunting, skunks burrowing, and all the other animals that make a garden their home. In this exuberant book, discover the wonder and activity that lie hidden between the stalks, under the shade of leaves . . . and down in the dirt."--
