ZOE AND THE
SEED GARDEN

Zoe, lonely and heavy-hearted, drags herself off the school bus for her weekly visit to Auntie’s farm. Auntie encourages Zoe to let the garden guide her feelings as she learns how to care for plants. When Auntie teaches her young apprentice the art of seed saving, Zoe’s blues are replaced with a deep sense of hope. She realizes she can build a promising future for the environment by caring for the garden and its miraculous seeds.

Zoe and the Seed Garden is a fourteen chapter story interwoven with a collection of plant-science lessons for children, young adults, parents and educators. Lavishly illustrated with the felted wool paintings of the author, Zoe’s story of transformation promises to spark the reader’s curiosity about the art of seed saving.
