• The plants are thirsty! Look behind the doors to find water, a hose, or a watering can to help them.
• The tools are missing! Open the doors to find them!
• The vegetables are hidden! Check behind the doors to find carrots, tomatoes, and peppers to harvest.
• The garden is messy! Find tools behind the doors to clean, rake, and fix the garden beds.
