Skillnadens Trädgård (translation: The Garden of Difference) is the pulsating hub for Sara Bäckmo and her family. In the large kitchen garden, Sara grows food with four small children. In many ways it is a challenge but it is possible. And it's fun! The foundation and drive is simple: With great commitment and feeling for the children's desire to do things their own way, Sara can share her interest in cultivation with them. Children enjoy eating vegetables they have grown themselves and they learn how the interaction between soil, plants and animals works. There are incredibly great values in such a growing environment. Outdoor play makes children great at being creative in games where age, gender and skills do not matter. When the children are out, they also move all the time: they walk, run, cycle, jump, drag and dig.

Odla med barn (translation: Growing with children) is the book for you who want to combine family life with a hearty vegetable garden. It is about inviting the children to the farm, to let them contribute what they can and want to do just for the day. To accept that you as a parent do not have time for everything you want and that it will far from always be as you have intended, but that it will still be good; for the cultivation is a perfect place that embraces us all in our best and worst days.

Sara Bäckmo is a journalist who cultivates and writes about Skillnadens Trädgård in the Nordic region's largest garden blog (www.sarabackmo.se). She also produces the podcast Skillnadens Trädgård by Sara and lectures extensively on vegetable growing.

Maria Fors Östberg shares Sara's garden passion and has been following the work in Skillnadens Trädgård with the camera for several years. She works as a freelance photographer and writer.
