Nana and Avery gathered all the supplies they needed. They had seeds, a watering can, and a small shovel. Avery loved the colorful packets of seeds. "What do we plant first, Nana?" Avery asked eagerly. "Let's start with some sunflowers," Nana replied.

Gathering Supplies

They went to the backyard and picked a sunny spot. Nana showed Avery how to dig the soil gently. Avery giggled as she got her hands dirty. "The soil feels soft and warm," she said. Nana nodded, "That's because the sun has been shining on it."

Digging the Soil

Avery carefully placed the sunflower seeds in the holes they dug. Nana explained the seeds needed to be covered with soil to stay safe. Avery patted the soil gently over the seeds. "Will they grow soon?" Avery asked curiously. "With some patience and care, they will," Nana assured her.

Planting the Seeds

Next, it was time to water the seeds. Avery filled the watering can with water. She sprinkled water over the soil, making sure not to drown the seeds. "Water helps the seeds wake up and start growing," Nana explained. Avery nodded, feeling proud of her work.

Watering the Garden
