The Gnome's Garden

Tuula Pere

Description

In the deepest part of the forest, Norman is planting a garden. He and his friend, Milly the Mole, plan to grow fruit and vegetables for all their forest friends again this year. Then one day a butterfly appears, and dazzles the gnome with her beauty. Soon he’s filling his garden with delicate flowers to please the butterfly. 

When a summer storm sweeps through the forest, will Norman’s fragile new garden survive? And what about his friendship with loyal Milly?

N orman the Gnome’s garden was hidden deep in the for- est. It was tucked behind the val- ley and the thickets of spruce and birch trees.
The garden was tidy and attractive. It was clear that Norman was a gifted gardener who tended his plants with care. Elephantine ferns sheltered his seeds and seed- lings. A large stone stored sunshine from the day, to warm the plants on nippy nights.
