"In the middle of the big city, there was a tired, ugly place that made Mr Green feel very sad . . . So begins this uplifting and charming story of the magic that can happen when young people, older people, and plants come together. As Mr Green turns an abandoned, forlorn space into a garden for his community, the following themes are explored: how plants grow; the importance of planting trees; creating places for wildlife; rebuilding ecosystems; intergenerational friendships; and how discovering nature and being outdoors is good for our mental health. The story is told with beautiful artwork created from collage and pencil drawings"-- Provided by publisher.
