I purchased this book because I am working with a school here in Decatur, Ga, to begin a neighborhood garden. Alice Waters, inspired by the French example of good gardens as the basis of tasty cuisine help start a garden at a local middle school in Oakland, CA. This book describes the first years of the garden-a wonderful, messy project which includes the kids’ written reactions and wonderful recipes. Get inspired!
