A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words

Gardening is a delightful way to connect with nature and watch life blossom before your eyes. As winter loosens its grip, dormant bulbs begin to sprout, pushing shy seedling leaves towards the warming sun. Tender care is needed during this vulnerable stage, protecting them from harsh elements until they establish strong roots. Beautiful vining flowers, can be strategically planted to weave their way through an archway, creating a stunning vertical cascade of colorful blooms throughout the season. With consistent watering, sunshine, and perhaps some organic fertilizer, your garden will erupt in a vibrant display of blooming flowers and flourishing vegetables. The satisfaction of harvesting homegrown tomatoes, crisp lettuce, or fragrant herbs makes all the effort worthwhile, and the cycle begins anew as you save seeds for next season's bounty.
