Green-fingered gardener Mr Bloom welcomes a team of young helpers, who tend to his plants and produce.

Inside the Nursery, the Veggies are having a Games Day to show off their different skills. Raymond is balancing plant pots on his head, Colin runs fast and Joan tidies up after everyone. Margaret doesn't want to join in because she doesn't think she's good at anything.... that is until the game of Hide and Seek is suggested.
