An aerial view of a neatly organized vegetable garden with various plants growing in separate square and rectangular plots. The garden is surrounded by a green hedge and features a small structure with a red-tiled roof. Garden tools and a coiled hose are visible along a fence, and a couple of plastic containers are placed in one corner.

Two people are engaged in gardening activities in a backyard. The person in the foreground is wearing a red shirt and is using a trowel to tend to plants in a raised wooden flower bed. In the background, another person in a checkered shirt is also working in the garden, surrounded by lush greenery and shrubs. The environment is serene and focused on the task of cultivating plants.
