Kids Explore Gardening and Hydroponics through Blueberry Story

Feeding Minds Press has introduced I Love Blueberries, a new educational book for children. This story follows a young girl, Jolie, who is eager to grow her own food and learn more about blueberries.

A follow-up to the popular I Love Strawberries, this new book brings fresh excitement as Jolie explores a blueberry farm. Inspired by the visit, she starts her own farming journey using a modern method—hydroponics.

The story teaches children the basics of hydroponic gardening, a technique that uses water and nutrients to grow plants without soil. Alongside her friend Margo, Jolie builds a bucket farm right in their classroom.

Through this engaging adventure, readers discover the value of science, nutrition, and teamwork. The book encourages children to think critically, solve problems, and understand how food grows.

"I Love Blueberries" also connects young readers to the bigger picture of sustainable farming. It shows that even without a backyard, kids can experience the joy of growing food using creative methods.

Feeding Minds Press continues its mission of combining storytelling with agriculture education. Their books aim to inspire a new generation of thoughtful, food-conscious readers.

This book is perfect for classrooms and families looking to spark an interest in food, farming, and healthy living. Learn more or order your copy at feedmindspress.com.
