Garden Riddles for Green-Thumb Kids

I’m a tiny shell with a dream inside. Plant me in soil and watch me glide.

I sip on sunlight and turn it to food. My leafy labs set the mood.

I flutter on wings dusted with gold. I share pollen stories yet never grow old.

I arch and spray with sparkling grace. Kids dash through me in a summer race.

I twist around trellises reaching high. Give me a pole and I’ll kiss the sky.

I’m a buzzing guest in tomato rows. Shake the blooms so fruit soon grows.

I keep weeds out with mulch so brown. Spread me thick to guard the crown.

I’m a compost mix with peels and leaves. I feed the soil with nutrients sieved.

I ring with chimes when breezes play. Hang me by herbs to chase bugs away.

I creep at night with a silver twirl. Salt the path to stop my whirl.

I’m a watering can with gentle rain. Tip me slowly to drench the grain.

I shelter sprouts beneath a glow. Plug me in to help them grow.

I mark the rows with tidy tags. Read my names on little flags.

I keep watch over pumpkins and peas. With painted eyes, I scare the thieves.

I’m a moonlit bloom that opens late. Follow my perfume through the gate.
