Set the stage with a note from the gardener:

There was a gardener,

Planting in the soil.

A critter came,

And caused some turmoil.

It stole all the seeds,

That he needed to sow.

Where did it take them?

He has to know!

Solve each challenge,

And you will see.

There is only one,

That it can be!

After the students complete each challenge, they will receive a clue from the culprit. A suspect will be eliminated after each challenge. Once all of the spring centers have been completed, they will have eliminated all but one suspect!
