When the tiny seed is blown away from its parent plant, it travels a very long way - over seas, deserts and mountains. The tiny seed survives the hazards of the journey and finally falls onto fertile earth. It grows and grows, becoming the tallest, biggest flower for miles around. Then one day the wind blows and thousands of the flower's seeds begin their own journeys.

Discover the wonders that lie hidden between stalks, under the shade of leaves and down in the dirt. Explore the hidden world and many lives of a garden through the course of a year. Up in the Garden, the world is full of green - leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But Down in the Dirt exists a busy world - earthworms dig, snakes hunt, skunks burrow - populated by all the animals that make a garden their home.
