To determine what part of the total garden will grow sunflowers, we can break it down step by step.

1. **Identify the fraction of the garden used for planting:** Russ plants seeds in \( \frac{1}{2} \) of his garden.

2. **Identify the fraction of that section for sunflowers:** He planted sunflower seeds in \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the \( \frac{1}{2} \) section he used.

3. **Calculate the fraction of the total garden that is planted with sunflowers:**

\[
\text{Fraction of total garden for sunflowers} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}
\]

To multiply these fractions, you multiply the numerators and the denominators:

\[
\frac{1 \times 1}{2 \times 4} = \frac{1}{8}
\]

Thus, \( \frac{1}{8} \) of the total garden is dedicated to growing sunflowers.
