About this work
Description
"Generations Gardening Together presents a tested, hands-on, easy-to-use six-week activity plan that benefits the development of relationships between adults over seventy and school-age children. It shows how to limit frustration for everyone involved, how to plan activities that are functional and non-contrived, and how to assure that the interaction between elders and children is rewarding and pleasant for all. The activities you'll find in these pages are designed to be easy to coordinate - they rely on inexpensive, readily available tools and resources available throughout the growing season."--Jacket.
