No Waste Kitchen Gardening by Katie Elzer-Peters
Regrow Your Leftover Greens, Stalks, Seeds, and More

This would be a fun book for families with children to use together to grow a wide variety of vegetables using items purchased at the produce market. Or, adults wanting to try their hand at growing a few items using kitchen scraps might find it fun, too. The parts of plants are described, illustrations are provided (photos and drawings) and how-to-do-its for all plants suggested are easy to follow whether using seeds or parts of plants that will become new edibles or provide edibles in the future.

Having tried the avocado seed to grow a tree I can say it definitely works as we are collecting avocados from trees we started as seeds over a decade ago. Trees may take some time but are rewarding just as some of the easier more quickly growing prjects might be to begin with. I am not sure I learned anything “new” but this was a fun book to read and one I believe I would gift to my granddaughters in the future.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Cool Springs Press for the ARC – This is my honest review.
