How do you play boggle?
The idea is to make words by moving from one chosen square to an adjacent one (the squares must touch vertically, horizontally or diagonally), until you've made a word. There is no minimum or maximum number of letters required in a word. The word you have made must be something which could arguably be found in a garden. More than 50 garden "things" can be found in this puzzle.

Be creative and good luck!
