HOW TO: Plant a Simple Garden

Making a Colorful Garden

Have you ever wanted your yard to look colorful? Well, I did—so I planted outdoor plants in my yard! It makes your environment look so beautiful! Read on to learn how to make a colorful yard too. Trust me, you’ll be satisfied. 

Materials:

• Garden Shovel

• Gardening gloves

• A flat ground with soil (outdoors)

• Your favorite flower seeds or bulbs 

IMPORTANT TIP:

Water your plants every day. If you notice that your plants are too damp, wait a day or two to water them again. If it rains, wait two more days until watering.

PROCESS: 

1. You’ll need to buy your favorite flower seeds or bulbs.
    Some of my favorite flowers are sunflowers, tulips, and lilies. 

2. Put on your gardening gloves.

3. In your garden, take your shovel and dig a hole that is about two inches
    wide and five inches deep (but read the packet to find specific depths). 

4. Put two seeds in your hole.

5. Take your shovel again and cover the hole with soil.

6. Tap the soil that’s on top of the hole. This should flatten it out.
    You may want to write the name of the flower that you’ve planted on
    a popsicle stick and place it where you’ve planted. 

7. Water your plants and repeat this process starting from step 3.
