Ex-primary teacher Matthew Appleby is the expert voice behind the book. Appleby has two sons and has tapped into his first-hand experience of parenting and teaching to devise these seasonal projects for every week of the year. The Children's Garden is the perfect companion for families looking to discover the magic and adventure their gardens have to offer.

The book follows Appleby's the best-selling The Allotment Planner, published in 2013, also by Frances Lincoln as publisher.
