The Extraordinary Gardener

by Sam Boughton

Joe lives in a grey city tower block, but his imagination is full of colour and wonder. One day, he plants a single seed on his balcony—and waits. Nothing happens, and he gives up.

But when a beautiful tree suddenly appears, everything changes. Joe begins growing more plants, and soon his balcony blooms with life—sparking a green transformation that spreads through the whole neighbourhood.
