How to use this crossword

Solve each clue. Write one letter per white square.

Try a clue you recognize, then count the squares before writing. Plant parts and garden tools share letters at the crossings; a correct ROOT can help you decide another answer. Use pencil so a crossing can change an early guess.

After the activity

Look at a plant and identify a root, stem, leaf or flower. For a different task using garden vocabulary, choose the garden word search.
