Welcome to Elmo's World.
Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today. Wait for it. (whimsical music) (Elmo laughs) (Abby laughs) Gardens! - Hi. - Whoa. Pretty flowers, Abby. Boy, Elmo loves gardens and wants to find out more. - Thanks Elmo. Let's ask Elmo's friend, Smarty. Let's call her together. - [Elmo And Children] Oh, Smarty! (Smarty chimming) - Hi, Elmo. Look at, look at, look at. Check out my screen. - Wow. Pretty.
- It's full of flowers and plants just like a garden is. - (laughs) That's perfect, Smarty, because today Elmo wants to learn all about gardens. - Well, what do we do to learn something new? - [Elmo And Smarty] We look it up! - Okay. Searching for gardens. Here's all the dirt. Gardens are places where people grow plants. Some gardens have flowers. Some gardens have fruits and vegetables for people to eat.
Gardens provide homes for all kinds of animals and insects. There are bees and butterflies. There are lots of animals and insects that live underneath gardens too, like earthworms, not to mention field mice, and our friend the garden snake. Isn't he handsome? Best of all, gardens not only look good, they smell amazing, too. - Wow. A garden looks like a lot of fun. - Yeah. They really grow on you. Get it? Grow on you. - Yeah! I'm gonna see what other gardening stuff I can dig up. Bye-bye.
- Okay. Bye-bye Smarty. Thank you. Boy, gardens are amazing places. (laughs) That gives Elmo an idea. Oh, let's play a game together. Yeah. Come on, come on. (bright music) (playful music) (crayon scratching) Let's see. A flower, a bee, and a penguin. Which one grows in the garden? Should we put the flower in the garden? - [Children] Yes. - [Child] Flowers grow in gardens. - [Elmo] Yeah! (laughs) - [Child] Yay. We got one right.
- [Elmo] Oh, let's try another one. Which one grows in the garden? A bee or a penguin? - [Children] The bee. - [Child] Penguins don't live in gardens. - Bees grow in gardens. But penguins don't. See you later penguin. Bye-bye. (upbeat music) Well, there's lots of things in a garden and that makes Elmo wonder even more. Does Mr. Noodle know how to garden? Hey, let's ask him. Hey, Mr. Noodle! (laughs) It's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle.
- [Children] Hi, Mr. Noodle! - [Elmo] Mr. Noodle, do you how to garden? (quirky music) You do? (Elmo laughs) Show us, Mr. Noodle. Show us how to garden. (quirky music) Wait a minute. Is that how to garden? - [Children] No, that's skiing. - [Elmo] Elmo will give you a hint, okay? Garden has something to do with plants. (quirky music) (vine rustling) - [Child] That's not how you garden, Mr. Noodle. - [Elmo] Try again.
(vine rustling) (quirky music) (laughs) Good job, Mr. Noodle. Now that's how you garden. - [Child] He's planting the plants. - [Elmo] Don't forget to water them, Mr. Noodle. Too small. (quirky music) Try a bigger one. (quirky music) (objects rattling) There you go. That's what Elmo's talking about. - [Child] He's doing it. Mr. Noodle is gardening. - [Elmo] Good job Mr. Noodle. Thanks for showing Elmo how to garden. - [Elmo And Children] Bye Mr. Noodle.

You can garden, too. (bright music) Gardens can be big or small. (bright music) Gardens need water so they can grow.

(grunts) Look. - [Elmo] Whoa. Abby's plant looks sad and droopy.
- Yeah, that's because it's thirsty. It needs water. - Uh-oh. Elmo's thirsty, too. Very thirsty. - Wait! - What? If you drink that water, then my plant will still be all sad and droopy. - But Abby, if Elmo gives your plant the water, then Elmo will still be very, very thirsty. - Oh boy. This is terrible. - Yeah. - [Both] What are we gonna do? - Abby, Abby! Elmo has an idea! What if Elmo just takes a little drink of water like this? And then.
Look, look, look. - Then you can give my plant a little drink of water. Oh. - There. - Yep. - Oh, look. Look Elmo. - My plant's feeling better already. - Wow. And there's still water left. Elmo can drink some more, okay? - Okay. (Elmo slurping) And then give my plant a little more. - Yep, yep. Okay. Oh. (Abby gasps) There. - Oh boy. - And Elmo and the plant are taking turns. (Elmo laughs) - And sharing. - Mmhmm.
(Elmo slurping) (Abby giggles) Ah. - [Abby] Over here. Yeah. - Oh ho. (giggles) Boy, Elmo never shared with a plant before. - This plant never shared with a monster before. (both laughing) (Elmo slurping) - A little more. - Ah. - Yep. (water trickling) Oh. - Elmo, look. - My plant, it's all better. - Whoa. And Elmo's not thirsty anymore. (both laughing) That was plenty of water for everybody.
- Yeah. (giggles) - Yay! - Woohoo! And Abby and Elmo figured it out. - [Abby And Elmo] All by ourselves. - Oh, with a little help by the plant. - Yeah.

Today, Abby, - Hi. Tamir, - Hi. and me, Cookie Monster, are reusing empty milk jugs to make this cute little piggy watering can.
- [Tamir And Abby] Oink, oink. (Tamir imitating pig oinking) - You can use your watering can to water your flowers and plants at home. - Yeah. Come on. Let's make one together. - Yeah. Here's everything that you need to make a piggy watering can. Oink. Milk jug with cap, scissors, glue, paint, cookies, paint brushes, cereal box, cookies, markers, pipe cleaners, cookies, googly eyes, plastic thimbles, and did we mention the cookies? Step one: Make sure that the milk jug is empty and washed out. Then, poke holes into the cap.
Make sure that you have an adult help you poke the holes. And ta-da, we got a watering can. Huh? Yeah. - But if we make a watering can then what are all these things for? - Oh, well, we going to use all this crafty stuff to turn the watering can into piggy watering can. - [Tamir And Abby] Oink, oink. (Tamir and Abby imitating pig oinking) - Step two: It's time to paint. Dip, dip, dip. Painty, painty, paint. (energetic music) (Abby humming) There we go.
Me piggy watering can is all painted pink. Yeah. How did yours go, Tamir? - My piggy is painted. Hmm. - Yeah. It looks like you got painted, too. - Huh, really? Where? - There, and there, and there. (Abby laughs) - Oh. And my little piggy has polka dot spots. - Oh, those adorable. Hey, that give me idea. Okay. There we go. Piggy's got cookie spots. Yeah, piggy loves cookies just like me. (airy music) - What's next?
- Okay, well that's step three. Yeah We're going to give our piggies some feet so they can stand on their own. So we're going to use these little thimbles here that me painted pink. And you can use a cork or bottle caps or other items that you have around the house. Yeah. Make sure to ask a grownup to help you glue them to the bottom of the piggy. Step four: Give piggy some ears. Yeah. Me cut these triangle shaped ears out of an old cookie box. - I have orange ears.
- And I have blue ones. - Okay, now that we have our ears, let's glue them to our piggies. - Already done, Cookie Monster. My ears are glued on. Uh. - Remember, you don't need to use too much glue. - Woops. - Wow. You can really see the pig now. - Yes, but can the pig see you? What does the pig need? - [Tamir And Abby] Eyes. - Step five: Give you piggies eyes. Yeah. Just like these eyes we have right here.
Yeah. Googly, googly. - Look at my little piggy looking all around. (Abby imitating pig oinking) - My piggy sees you. - Me piggy sees you. Oinky, oinky, oinky. Okay, well me hope you brought cookies. - Wait, why do we need cookies to make a pig watering can? - Snack break! Step six: Eat cookies. (laughs) - [All] Cookies! (Cookie Monster munching) (upbeat music) (Tamir munching) (upbeat music) (Abby munching) (upbeat music) (Cookie Monster munching) (upbeat music) - Break over.
Okay, we almost at the end of our craft. And what do you find at the end of a piggy? - Oh. - [Tamir And Abby] A tail. - That's right. Step seven. We going to use pipe cleaners to make curly piggy tails. Okay, now we twist the pipe cleaner around the marker like this to make it nice and curly. - Turning. Then, ah, my tail! - Okay. Wow. Piggy tail. - Then, we tape it down to the back of the piggy. - Wow. We did it.
We made pig watering cans. - Yeah, me love how different they are look. Oink, oink. Oinky, oink. - Oink, oink. (water trickling) - There we go. - Woo! Delicious water. Thank you very much. And what a cute watering can you have. - (laughs) Thank you. And you're welcome mister. Glad we could help. - Yeah. - Thanks for making piggy watering can with us.

Freeze. - Oh. You can relax. Now we're ready for some yoga. Today, we're doing the plant pose. Bend your knees and squat all the way down.
Squeeze your arms in and make yourself small like a seed. All plants begin as little seeds. Here comes the rain. - Oh. - Oh. Ha! (Speaker laughs) - [Speaker] You don't need an umbrella, Grover. Seeds need water to grow big and strong. Let's get ready to grow. Stand up slowly like a plant sprouting from its seeds. Hello, sunshine. - Oh. - Ha! (Elmo laughs) - [Speaker] You don't need glasses either, Grover.
Plants need light from the sun to grow, too. Now stretch your arms up like little leaves reaching for the sun. You did the plant pose. Great work, little monsters.

And where does a flower grow? - [Children] A garden! - Yes. I think I know where we're going. We're going to. - [All] Gardening school! (Ovejita speaking Spanish) - [All] Yay!
(Ovejita and Murray laughing) (lively music) - [Murray] What happens in this garden? - Generally, in a garden like this one, we grow things that look pretty. And sometimes things that look pretty are also things that you can eat. - Wait a minute. Spinach. Spinach has leaves. Can they grow in the garden? - Yes. - Wow. - Are you ready to plant some seeds?
Just like that. - You know what I like? - What? I like flowers. - Yeah, me too. (Ovejita sniffing) - Ah, que bonita. - What color do flowers come in? - White. - White. What else? Pink. - Pink. Red. - Red. And purple. - And purple? - And how about my favorite color of all? An orange flower. - Orange. - Well, right now we don't have any orange flowers. - Maybe I could just stand there like this and pretend to be the orange flour.
How do you plant a flower? - You use seeds, and water, and sunshine. - That's that's so much stuff a flower needs. I thought you just put it there and it just grows. That's not true? - No, no. So, what do I do first when I'm gonna plant? - [Instructor] We wanna rake off any debris, any bits of old plant or petals. We want to make sure the soil looks nice and clean. - So here's what we're gonna do. When we plant, we're gonna use this. This is a trowel. Does everybody know what a trowel is?
- [Child] Shovel! - It is. It's like a really small shovel. Now they're not very big, but they are kind of heavy, so you do have to be careful, okay? Just like sugar on a spoon. Put it right next to the hole. Perfect. - Kareem, I'm really good at digging. Watch my digging moves. You ready? - Okay. (Murray grunting) - You think I'm gonna be good at digging? - Yes. (upbeat music)
- Once we get the plants in the ground, what else do they need? - Company? - No. Well, they do like company. - A nice song perhaps? - They need water. - Get that root. All of those roots nice and wet. - Hit it, Ovejita! (water spraying) - [Instructor 2] Just press lightly and you got it. - Wow. There's so much stuff that comes out of a garden.

But before we start, it's time to play Pick Your Lunch!
(Elmo and Gabrielle laughing) - Pick Your Lunch? How do you play that Grandma Nell? - All you have to do is pick the food for your lunch from the veggies in the community garden. See if you can find ones that grow on top of the soil, under the soil, and above the soil. - On top of, under and above the soil. Got it. You can look with us. (Tango barking) - Now, what would you like to eat? - Ummm. Oh, oh. How about a salad? Yeah, Elmo loves salad.
(Tango barking) But Elmo wonders, can we make a salad from veggies in the garden? - Great question, Elmo. ♪ This is a job for Nature Explorers ♪ ♪ You could be a Nature Explorer too ♪ ♪ Come on, observe and look closely with us ♪ ♪ Binoculars, check ♪ ♪ Magnifying glass, check ♪ ♪ Notebook, check ♪ ♪ Nature Explorers ready to explore ♪ (Tango howling and barking) - Hmm. Elmo sees big green leaves that grow on the soil. Is that a veggie? - Maybe. But all the leaves look different. - That's because they are all different kinds of lettuce.
This is called Romaine, this one is Arugula, and this one is Butterhead lettuce. They are all leaves that you can eat. - Leaves you can eat? I have to draw this in my notebook. (playful music) - Our friend said it was fine to take some veggies from their plot so go ahead and pick some lettuce for the salad, Elmo. - Okay. - See you shortly. (Tango barks) (Elmo humming) (leaf crunching) - Wait. Grandma Nell said we should find veggies that grow on top of the soil, under the soil and above the soil.
Lettuce grows on top of the soil! - So we're winning? - So far. Let's keep going. (Tango sniffing) (playful music) (Tango barking) - Let's follow Tango. (playful music) (Tango sniffing) (Tango barks) - Oh, I think tango found another veggie. - Elmo doesn't see any veggies. Let's see. Wait a minute. Elmo sees something orange. - Carrots are orange. I wonder. (Gabrielle grunting) - Oh. Tango found a carrot.
- Carrots grow under the soil. - Aww. Good girl, Tango. (Tango panting) (playful music) (Gabrielle humming) - Okay, so we found lettuce that grows on top of the soil, carrots that grow under the soil, now we just have to find veggies that grow above the soil.

(Tango sniffing) (Tango whimpering) (tomato thumping) (Tango sniffing) - Tango found a tomato. But where do they grow? (Tango barking) - Tomatoes don't come from the sky, Tango.
(Elmo and Gabrielle laughing) (Tango sniffing) - But they do come from up there. Look, they're growing above the soil. - That's right Nature Explorers. And you can pick the red tomatoes by gently twisting them off of the vine. - Grandma Nell, what about the green ones? - Oh, leave the green ones. They aren't ripe yet. Fun fact, tomatoes are actually a fruit. - Gabrielle, we did it. - We found food that grows on top of, under and above the soil to make our salad. - Well, that's right.

This is your cute, furry, blue, and green thumbed, gardening monster, Grover. (Grover giggles) And today I am going to tell you about the things that all cute little plants need to grow and stay healthy. Well, first they need soil and sunlight, which this plant over here has plenty of. But a plant also needs to eat. Okay, little planty. I hope you're hungry because, oh, have I got the treat for you. Something that all little plants love. And that is a big, healthful salad with radishes and tomatoes.
Oh, and just a hint of oregano. Bon petite. Do not wait for me. I have already eaten. What? (plant rustling) It appears this plant is not of the salad eating variety. But fear not. I know what else a little plant needs to grow big and healthy. (Grover giggles) A pizza! Oh! Piping hot, fresh out of the oven. What? (plant rustling) Oh, dear. This little plant does not seem to be a pizza eater either. But being the resourceful gardening monster that I am, I know just the thing that no little plant can resist.
(footsteps pattering) Hungarian ghoulash. Ah ha, ha. Oh. Enjoy. Do not resist. Give in to temptation. (plant rustling) Or not. (Grover sighing) (indistinct) (Grover sighing) I cannot believe this little plant is one finicky eater. (Grover sighing) And how will it ever grow to be big, and healthy, and green, and. And now it is raining. Ah, weather report did not forecast rain today. But, look. Ah, the little plant is looking nice and healthy again. Ah, I guess all it needed was a little water.
(Grover giggles) (Grover grunting) And I guess what I really need right now is an umbrella. Ah. Eh. (rain pattering) Oh. Excuse me. (rain pattering) You mind? (rain pattering) (thunder rumbling) (rain pattering)
