Come and see our vegetable garden!

See how we work through the seasons to make the plants and flowers grow. We sow seeds in spring, eat berries in summer and pick the apples in the autumn.

Gorgeous colour illustrations show, month by month, how the vegetable garden grows.

About the Author

Noelle Smit lives in the Dutch countryside where she has her own vegetable patch and greenhouse, as well as fruit trees and berry bushes. Her favourite vegetables are green asparagus, mangold beets and purple kale. She also enjoys making jam and preserves, so she can taste the summer throughout the winter.

Noelle studied fine art in Utrecht in The Netherlands, specialising in book illustration. In the Garden is her second solo book.
