Visual Description
Two children kneel on the grass arranging six silver cups in the dirt; one child uses a small trowel while the other tends a sprouting plant in a cup. Behind them an elderly couple sits on a park bench, arm in arm, watching with gentle smiles. A purple-flowering tree and sunlit greenery frame the scene, and a walking cane leans against the bench. The cups are metallic and reflective, some containing small plants or objects, and the foreground shows a worn path edged by roots.
