Garden Tales

Jago the Robin has been practising his song for weeks. Finally it's ready, and he's very excited to perform it to his friends. But no-one is able to listen to him. Betty the Mouse is too busy looking after her little ones, pigs Thelma and Louise are asleep.

Casey the Badger has a taste for adventure. And today is no different. He's heard there might be monsters in the field nearby, and he just can't resist going to explore. But who'll go with him? Maybe Rosie the Rabbit? Or his brothers and sisters?

Lawrie the Little Owl has his feathers full. His four little owlets want to play hide-and-seek with him, but finding a good hiding spot on the old barn roof is rather tricky. Maybe he can try and blend in with the chimney? Or perhaps he could hide under gutters?

Red Squirrels Flint and Hazel really don't like tidying, so their corner of the woods is a mess. But Auntie Tawny Owl's coming to visit, so they'd better clear up. When the rain and wind starts blowing branches down, they'll never be ready on time. What are they going to do?

It's a hot day down at the Tropical Pond, and everyone is having a lovely time. But there's trouble in paradise. Double Trouble in fact, in the form of Walter and Winnie, the lively water voles. They love nothing more than splashing around and making as much noise as possible.

It's the potting shed's annual variety show and performers include Fred the tap-dancing millipede and Betty the singing mouse. Fred has a bit of stage fight, but Betty is very encouraging.

It's a big day for Grace the Great Tit, as her brand-new bird feeder cafe opens for business. She's spent ages getting everything ready, and it's all looking perfect. Everyone is having a lovely time until Maisie the grey squirrel comes and spills seeds everywhere!

Thelma and Louise, the garden's two Berkshire pigs, love nothing more than taking it easy. But today, they're in for a shock. Their nephews and nieces are coming to visit and there are loads of them.

There's a party in the Garden, but the guest of honour is still fast asleep. Can Oscar the Orange-tip Butterfly wriggle out of his chrysalis in time to join the fun?

Walter and Winnie the Water Voles are bored. There's nothing to do at the Tropical Pond. Walter reckons he can get to the Hidden Lake and back by lunchtime. When he doesn't return, Winnie is worried and heads off to find him.

Wilbur the Worm is on his way to meet his best friend Sid the Snail. It's one year since they first met, so this is a big day for them.

Annie and Alex are two young swans trying to work out what they want to be when they grow up. Alex wants to be a good singer, just like Jago the Robin with his beautiful song.

Inside the potting shed, Betty the mouse is trying to get her three youngsters to sleep. But a strange noise is keeping them all awake. Betty sets off to find out where the noise is coming from.

Freya the Frog has just taken her first leap out of the tropical pond. She's leaving all the tadpoles behind to explore the big wide world, and she's ready for anything.

Betty the Mouse's little ones see a big shadow from their cosy nest in the potting shed and all agree it must be a dinosaur. Word spreads around the garden and reaches Tilly the Tortoise.

Garden Tales is a wildlife soap opera following the exciting adventures of a cute and colourful cast of animal characters alongside their friends and neighbours. Lawrie goes exploring.

Sid the snail is looking for a friend to have lunch with. He's searched everywhere. But Jago the Robin is too quick for Sid to keep up with and the statue in the Fountain Pond isn't one for talking.

It's a big day at the Hidden Lake for one new arrival. Joe the mallard duckling hatched from his egg last night, and his mum is taking him for his very first swim.

Pigs Thelma and Louise have heard about the field at the top of the garden with great views and good food. It's a bit of a trek to get there, right up by the tractor and Louise can't possibly make it.

Betty the Mouse has a problem. Her cosy nest behind the wall in the potting shed has just got too small for her family. It's time to leave their old home and find somewhere bigger.

Adventure calls for Imogen the Harvest Mouse. There's a full moon tonight and she's determined to go camping for the first time to see it. But she needs to find the perfect spot.

Penny is a peacock butterfly caterpillar on a mission. Whilst all her friends are busy eating nettles, Penny longs for adventure. She wants to learn to fly, and she's determined to succeed.

It's the annual dance festival in the garden, and Santiago the Smooth Newt is getting his groove on. But the problem is, his groove isn't really up to scratch.

Freya the Frog and her best friend Teddy are nervous. Today they're going to take part in an assault course to become members of the prestigious Team Pond.
