Synopsis:

Does helping in the garden REALLY make plants grow better? How can we know for sure?

When Miss Lily randomly invites some kids to be garden helpers, Momo and Puri discover something surprising - not everyone who's invited shows up! Now they have a puzzle: how can we tell if helping made a difference when people choose whether to participate? Through garden adventures, they learn the clever tricks researchers use to find answers in the real world, even when things get messy.

Perfect for curious kids ages 5-13 who love gardens, experiments, and figuring out how things really work.
