Product Description
In the Garden with Dr. Carver
Sally is a young girl living in rural Alabama in the early 1900s, a time when people struggled to grow food in a soil that cotton production depleted for years. One day, Dr. George Washington Carver shows up to help the grown-ups with their farms and the children with their school garden. He teaches them how to restore the soil and respect the balance of nature. He also prepares a delicious lunch made of plants, including “chicken” made from peanuts. And Sally never forgets the lessons this wise man leaves in her heart and mind. Susan Grigsby’s warm story shines new light on a Black scientist who was ahead of his time.
