Look
at
all
the
life
that
is
go·ing·
on
in
this
Ba·ro·ssa·
Va·lley·
Gar·den· .
I·ri·ses·
crowd
and
push
their ^
way
up
to·wards·
the
roo·ster·
who ^
is
hu·rry·ing·
a·long·
to
find
out
what
the
hens
have
found
to
eat
that
is
so
ex·ci·ting· .
They ^
run
from
place
to
place
in
the
gar·den·
ra·king·
up
leaves
and
plant
ma·tter· ,
in·sects·
and
worms ,
with
their ^
strong
claws .
As
they ^
do ^
so
they ^
turn
the
soil
o·ver· .
A
hose
winds
its
way
up
a·mong· ^
all
the
chooks
pro·vi·ding·
use·ful·
wa·ter· ^
for
all
the
flow·ers· .
Can
you ^
put
a
name
to
all
the
di·ffe·rent·
flow·ers·
in
this
pain·ting· ?
Did
you ^
know
that
flow·ers·
re·pro·duce·
them·selves·
by
sca·tte·ring·
their ^
seeds ?
Their ^
co·lour· ^,
shape
and
strong
per·fume·
a·ttract·
in·sects·
who ^
come ^
to
ga·ther·
nec·tar· .
As
these
in·sects·
move ^
from
plant
to
plant ,
they ^
de·po·sit·
nec·tar·
in
the
form
of ^
po·llen· .
This
pro·cess·
will
lead
to
the
fer·ti·li·sa·tion·
which
forms
new
plant
seeds .
Chook
ma·nu·re· ,
did
you ^
know ,
is
won·der·ful· ^
for
the
gar·den· ?
At
the
back
of ^
the
gar·den·
two ^
spa·rrow·
sit
on
fence-posts
sur·vey·ing· ^
the
scene .
They ^
some·times· ^
perch
on
the
head
of ^
a
sun·flow·er· ,
or
on
a
leaf
and
peck
at
the
sun·flow·er·
seeds
which
are
stored
in
the
face
of ^
the
sun·flow·er· .
Did
you ^
know
that
sun·flow·ers·
al·ways·
turn
their ^
heads
to
face
the
sun ?
This
helps
to
ri·pen·
their ^
seeds .
Birds
ca·rry·
these
seeds
in
their ^
sto·machs· ^
and
la·ter·
will
pass
them
out
so
that
they ^
will
hope·fu·lly·
grow
up
from
seed
in
a·no·ther· ^
place .
So
you ^
can
see
that
a
gar·den·
is
a
place
where ^
eve·ry·thing·
a·live·
has
a
pur·pose·
and
co·nnects·
up
to
form
the
bi·gger·
pic·ture· .
