In the middle is a woman with green leaves sticking out from the brim of her hat, wearing light green patterned dress with orange trim, looking down at the light green leaf she’s holding in both hands. Her arm rests above a basket filled with green stalks poking out of the left side.

The two women furthest to the right are younger. The one sitting next to the stool is also holding the plant, hat tipped back, looking down and smiling, wearing a dark blue patterned dress, and in her lap is a basket of green plants.
