Place them in to shallow water (Pot plant) and let them soak the water up from underneath, if you water them from the top they will drown now as the soil is dry and will not soak up the water.

They should look a little like this

Once the water has soaked all the way into the soil, make sure they arent standing in water. Keep them out of direct sun and the wind untill they recover

Blow the garden up and tell them you found an unexploded WW2 bomb under the lawn when you were doing the gardening and in between you calling the bomb disposal squad and them coming it went off.

Don't feed them, it'll just make things worse.
