About this word search
Secateurs is the usual Australian and British word for pruning shears, and a Pergola covered in grapevine or wisteria is a familiar sight in older suburbs. Bumblebee is an interesting entry: mainland Australia has no bumblebees, although one introduced species lives in Tasmania.
With reversed and slanted lines all over the grid, start with Blue-tongue lizard and Vegetable patch, the two longest entries. Bird table and Bird bath share their first word, and Greenhouse and Garden gnome both start with G, so finish each line before circling.
Keen gardeners can use the list to plan a small patch on paper, marking where each plant and tool would go.
