In a sunny forest nursery, a tracked mecha rests on level ground and steadies a young tree pot with a padded gripper against the pot wall. The gardener holds a stop control at the waist and a loose loop of tree support strap in the other hand. Two children watch from behind a low rail. Wooden seedling beds frame the foreground path, while a rack holds a scoop, watering jug, and booklet. A complete wheeled basket stands beside it. Warm storybook shapes keep the tools and leaves distinct.
