Plants Need Friends Too!

Jamie Walton

The Friendship Patch is a colorful patch of plant friends helping one another grow big, strong, happy, and healthy. From cheery sunflowers and shy little carrots, to brave (but smelly) onions, each plant has its own strengths that helps the vegetable garden thrive.

But when a squash called Squish sprouts, the garden faces a challenge: some plants don't know how to get along. With teamwork, understanding, and a little bit of magic from Mari the golden Marigold, they discover that everyone has a role to play and that plants, just like people, need friends to be able to grow!

Plants Need Friends Too! is a heartwarming adventure with companion planting techniques at its core. With wonderfully whimsical illustrations by Rose Gerrard, readers will learn that lessons can be learnt from nature, and being a good friend--just like a good companion plant--means helping others. This uplifting tale from expert horticulturist and social media superstar, Jamie Walton will empower kids to see the garden as more than a collection of plants, but a place of true collaboration.
