On this fine morn, the brave gardeners of Goodgym — Sir Ivar, Dame Carolin, and Squire Sam — gathered at the enchanted garden of Hervey Road to perform acts of noble horticulture. With secateurs as their trusty swords and a bucket for their spoils, they ventured forth to tame the wild lavender that had grown too bold.

Swift hands and Annie’s keen eyes guided the pruning, filling the air with the sweet, magical fragrance of lavender — enough to enchant any wandering soul. The precious sprigs were carefully gathered, destined to bring joy indoors.

As the sun climbed higher, the trio turned to a few rogue weeds daring to challenge their domain. With courage and a touch of mischievous glee, they vanquished the intruders, leaving the garden orderly and serene.

Thus ended the quest of the day: lavender subdued, baskets full, and spirits lifted, ready to return another day to their verdant realm.
