Large Print Gardening Word Search

Big, bold letters and fewer, longer words: an easier-on-the-eyes gardening word search. Seed packets, compost and the first ripe tomato of the summer. A relaxing gardening word search for anyone who would rather be outside.

The large print edition uses an 11×11 grid that fills a letter-size page, and words only run across, down or diagonally down.

All 30 words in this theme: Tomatoes, Seedling, Compost, Trowel, Mulch, Perennial, Annual, Hydrangea, Tulip, Daffodil, Watering, Greenhouse, Trellis, Pruning, Fertilizer, Sunflower, Herbs, Basil, Rosemary, Lavender, Earthworm, Raisedbed, Wheelbarrow, Seedpacket, Hose, Gloves, Blossom, Zucchini, Peony, Rake.

Questions to share while solving, for activity groups, memory care or a visit with family:

• What was the first thing you ever planted?
• Do you prefer growing flowers or vegetables?
• Which flower reminds you of someone special?
• Did you have a secret for growing the best tomatoes?
• What did your garden look like in its best year?

Activity tip: Bring a small potted herb like basil or lavender to pass around. The scent is a lovely companion to a gardening puzzle.
