Looking for interesting Botany and/or Agricultural science curriculum.

My daughter is interested in plants and wants to learn more.  She is a very hands on 

learner so if we go the textbook route I would want something colorful/easy to read.

Any ideas?

You don't have any permaculture courses or something like that locally?

I really need something I can do at home.

Get the Seed Savers handbook and something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Homegrown-Whole-Grains-Harvest-Barley/dp/160342153X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1432084512&sr=8-2&keywords=growing+grainsand give it a go?

The link above is to a discussion of a botany course designed by a board member. It uses Botany for Dummies as the spine and adds a lot of other books that may be at your library. It's worth taking a look at.

I'm the one who made the botany course linked above. :-) 

Let me know if you have any questions about it...

CLE has an agri science elective.  They use Exploring Agriscience, Fourth Edition (©2011), by Ray V Herren.  and they add their lightunits to it (haven't used this course, by the way.... just know it's there).  But if you prefer, you can use just the text. take a look on amazon or other favorite seller for  isbn 978-1435439665. 

As an agri science text, it covers plants and livestock and animal treatment.
