🌟 Kinds of gardens

Flower gardens have beautiful flowers and trees for enjoyment, and vegetable gardens have vegetables and fruit we eat. There are also indoor gardens of houseplants in pots.

πŸ” Getting started

Prepare the soil by digging it and clearing out stones, then plant seeds, bulbs or small seedlings, water them regularly and pull out the weeds.

πŸ’‘ What do plants need?

Plants need sunlight, water, good soil and air. And each plant has its own needs: cacti love sun and little water, and ferns love shade and damp.

🎯 Your little garden

Start with easy plants like mint, parsley, beans and sunflowers. Watch them every day, and you'll be thrilled to see the first green leaf poke out of the soil!
