the garden

situation one miley invites her old

friend katie to her new house

katie is impressed by miley’s beautiful

flower garden

hi katie come in long time no see

hi miley thank you for inviting me over

how are you

i’m great i just quit my

job to stay home to take care of my

house and my kids

that’s great your house is so lovely

come on let me show you around

this is my kitchen and my room and the

children’s rooms are upstairs

and this is my garden

oh wow it’s amazing

did you plant it all by yourself

with a little help from my husband i

like gardening

it helps me relax look at all these

flowers and bushes

i bought the seeds online and i learned

how to fertilize it from my books

wow you’re so good at gardening wants

their names

these are the snapdragons they bloom

heavily and stand up in the often harsh

weather in spring and fall

and they bring butterflies to my garden

wow i like butterflies are they hard to

plant

no these plants are for beginner’s

garden

like these daffodils plant daffodil

bulbs and stain back

they’ll burst into bloom each spring

filling your garden with color

and fragrance

look at the bright colors are they

daisies

no they look like daisies but these are

cosmos

these annuals are so undemanding

they’ll bloom even in poor soils

that’s great maybe i can try to plant

them at home

but i live in an apartment i could only

hang some flower baskets

you can totally do it it’s so easy

these begonias are tough and great for

hanging baskets

containers or garden beds give them sun

or shade and they’ll reward you with

lots of flush colors

great i can brighten up my balcony

but where did you buy the seeds you can

take these pots and hang them

i planted it a while ago and you can

take care of it for me

thank you so much miley and i will cut

you some flowers for you to bring home

and decorate your house

do you like these peonies oh

they are to die for who doesn’t like

them

people think these peonies are hard to

grow but all they need is a good organic

mulch

they grow well over a wide range of

climates and feature stunning foliage

giant blooms and are available in many

colors

what is this wonderful smell it smells

like

lavender but i thought lavender would be

only in the uk

you’re right it’s the lavender my

husband bought these seeds when he

traveled to england last year

do these lavenders survive in our

climate

yes they are tough and they only need

well-drained sunny soil

it flowers for a long time but its

fragrant foliage is also delightful

i used dry petals to make lavender

candles

i will give you one as a gift and you

can try to light it up in your bedroom

to relax

thank you for all of these wonderful

gifts

but it’s getting late i have to go home

now

but another time soon we can go have a

cup of coffee

sure katie just call me

okay bye see you later see ya

situation two mary wants

to start gardening so she goes to the

shop to buy

seeds and tools the shop staff

derrick recommends her all the seeds and

tools that she needs

hi welcome to my little garden i’m derek

what can i help you with hi

i want to start planting flowers in my

backyard

and i don’t know what to start with

i’m here to help you i have customers

come here every day

asking that same question and lucky for

you i have

all the seeds that are suitable for

beginners and all the equipment

for you to start planting on your own

oh great you are my lifesaver

thanks so how big is your garden

do you like flowers with fragrance or

what color do you want

my garden is pretty big it has sunny

spots and shady spots too

i like flowers with fragrance especially

kinds that attract butterflies or birds

and i like every kind of color i want my

garden to be diverse

wonderful i have these sunflower seeds

this plant is forever famous especially

with children

the blooms are in the deep dark brown

color of a chocolate bar

and highlighted with yellow tips their

seeds attract birds

oh wow i like sunflowers i will have

some of that

and do you have daisy seeds

no i just ran out of those but

these zinnia seeds are daisy-like they

come in almost every color

you can just plant them in the sun and

space them as directed on the seed

packet

or label good air circulation helps

prevent disease

great i will have that too i want

something that grows all year round

i want my garden to be beautiful all the

time

uh we have the um pellegronium

grown as annuals popular for its

brilliant red and orange

as well as white flowers and tolerance

to heat and drought

ideal for the hottest spots i have such

perfect sunny spots for them

i will take it thanks do you need

anything else

these begonia seeds are some of the most

varied and useful tender garden plants

they’re one of our best sellers okay

i will try those too and do you

recommend any good garden tools

you should start with the essentials and

stay focused on the basics so you can

keep your shed or storage area from

becoming overcrowded

i have a limited budget so i want to buy

the best quality tools that my budget

allows

and maintain them say no more

i have all the basic tools that you need

start with

this quality yet affordable water

resistant breathable fit glove

then these cutting tools pruning shears

and loppers

make cutting through thicker and harder

branches easier

great i will need those and i have a

shovel at home but i need a short

shovel for digging holes this short

handled square shovel

is garden workhorses it can be more on

the pricey side

but a good spade will last for the rest

of your gardening life

yes and the stainless steel head is

strong and won’t rust

i will have this too do you own any

watering

wand or can no i don’t

should i buy a watering can or wand

watering wands come in a variety of

lengths

the extended reach is also helpful to

get to out of the way containers

hanging plants or the back edges of

borders

and the can is easier to carry but won’t

last as long

i will have a watering wand please

wonderful choice i think you’re all set

you can start planting seeds and just

come back here whenever you have

anything else thank you i’m so excited

to start my own garden

yes call me if you have any questions

thank you so much have a good day you
