Potting & Repotting — a free, large-print puzzle for anyone who loves the feel of fresh soil and a plant finding new room to grow.
About Potting & Repotting
There is something deeply satisfying about lifting a plant from its old home and settling it into something roomier — shaking loose the tired soil, untangling the roots, and pressing fresh compost around the base. The windowsill terrarium, the clay pot on the back step, the saucer catching the slow drip after a good watering: these small rituals connect us to growing things in a way that a garden can't always offer. Indoors or out, a plant given fresh ground and a little attention will almost always tell you so.
