To get started you'll need:
A watering can or a water spray bottle
Optional: A small shovel or garden trowel (for exploring the soil)
Let's go for a garden watering adventure!
Step 1:
Find a watering can or a water spray bottle – choose the one you like best
Step 2:
Explore your garden and look for plants that might be feeling thirsty and need some water
Step 3:
Identify thirsty plants – notice if the soil around them looks dry and cracked, or if they have droopy leaves and flowers
Step 4:
Now it's time to give those plants a drink! Use your watering can or water spray bottle, stand close to the plant and gently pour water at the base of the plant or spray it on the leaves
Step 5:
Dig and Discover (optional) – If you have a small shovel or garden trowel, you can explore the soil around the plants. Dig a little bit and see if the soil feels moist or dry. Plants like moist soil to grow strong
Have fun taking care of your plants and seeing how they grow!
