The picture book begins with grey illustrations and description of dull and gloomy city life where there are no gardens. The most wonderful thing happened next spring: the garden turned the city’s residents into gardeners. Soon, the entire city was covered in plants. It grew on post-boxes, water hydrants, and many other mysterious places. It grew around old and forgotten things abandoned on the streets. With the help of Liam’s new tools and sunshine, the garden awoke and moved into the city. When winter came, Liam studied gardening and prepared to garden in the spring. The railway tracks were soon covered by plants. Unlike most gardens, the curious garden wanted to explore. Soon, Liam became a real gardener and the plants grew into a real garden. Every day since then, Liam visited the plants and wildflowers and watered them, trimmed them, and sang to them. There he discovered a small neglected garden struggling to survive near the railway tracks. During one of his rainy day adventures, he decided to explore the railway. He loved splashing through puddles in the rain. “There once was a city without gardens or trees or greenery of any kind…As you canĪ young boy named Liam took delight in wandering outside.
