   If you want to plant a garden, the first thing you’ll need is a good place．Plants need soil to grow in．They also need sun and water ．Find a place that will get sunshine most of the day ．Make sure it is near a supply of water．You will have to bring water to your plants if there is not enough rain．Once you have found a good place, you will need three more things: seeds, some kind of plant food, and a few gardening tools．
