Throughout New England's forests, craggy shoreline, hills, and wetlands is an abundance of native plants, distinctive for their beauty, personalities, and place in the seasonal ecosystem. This book was inspired by walks throughout the year in Garden in the Woods, the naturalistic botanical garden of Native Plant Trust in Framingham, Massachusetts. In the book, children travel through the seasons and meet up close a palette of New England's native plants and the critters that depend on and support them. An appreciation of this marvelous web of life awaits.
