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
