A heartwarming tale about the value of connecting with others, even when the path isn’t always smooth. The Gardener loves the smell of the flowers, the feel of the earth and watching her plants bloom.

But along comes a magpie who turns her potting shed upside down! Making new friends can be lots of fun, but can sometimes be tricky. Join our gardener and magpie on this playful and heart warming journey as they navigate the intricacies of friendship.

 Featuring puppetry, plants and lots of pots, this forty minute adventure is designed to delight ages 2-6 and their grownups.

Suitable for studio theatres, libraries, schools, village halls, arts centres, children’s centres. If you have a unique space not listed here that you would like to bring us into, get in touch!
