The school garden holds a plant swap. Families trade small plants. Eight families come to each swap. At the first swap, people leave some empty pots on the soil. Before the next swap, helpers add a pot-return box. Helpers can use returned pots for new plants. The graph shows pots left on the soil after each swap.

Listen to the garden notes. Choose ways to care for the garden.
Helpers fill watering cans for the plants. A hose keeps running after a can is full. Water spills onto the ground. A cart rolls off the path and bends plant stems. Carts on the path miss the plants. Some families walk or bike to the swap. Others arrive in cars. Running car engines release gases into the air.
