Story
After reading the nursery rhyme Mary Mary Quite Contrary, Lulu wants to plant her own garden. She uses books from the library to do some research and makes a list of plants. After a trip to the garden centre, she busies herself while she waits patiently for her seeds to grow. She makes a flower book and decorations for her garden before inviting her friends in to celebrate.
