What’s Growing in Grandma’s Garden

Finally, a book to help grownups have a conversation with children about cannabis! And that’s exactly what it says on the cover of Susan Soares’ book. What’s Growing in Grandma’s Garden is basically a gardening book in narrative form told from the point of view of a child. Sharing a love for gardening, a grandmother and grandson cultivate fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs except for cannabis, which is grandma’s favorite. She is open about her cannabis use and firm in her teaching that some things are for grownups only. As cannabis conversations with children need to happen more, What’s Growing in Grandma’s Garden is a wonderful way to broach the topic.
