Official synopsis Publisher
Spring has come and the garden is looking a bit bare, so it’s off to the garden center for Mum, her little daughter, and the baby. After finally deciding on just the right flowers, seeds, and even a tree, it’s time to go home and plant. This delightful story shows how even a familiar event can be an occasion for joy. Garland’s appealing illustrations are full of visual humor — the tree’s perilous journey home in an old pram, the always-digging family dog — while her simple, child-friendly text is underscored with dry wit that appeals to parents.
