Sophie's vegetables come from the supermarket, where she lives in the city. Then she visits her grandparents in the countryside and soon discovers how things actually grow!

Sophie helps her grandfather through all the seasons, finding out about mulching onions, eating flowers, weeding, bees, making salad, catching beetles, digging, earthing up, picking and composting. 

Gerda Muller's illustrations depict the garden and its plants through spring, summer, autumn and winter.
