01x46 - Milo The Gardener

[bunniefuu]

Thank you for supporting your PBS station.

-[opening theme] -[Milo, Lofty, Lark] MILO!

MILO!

MILO!

-MILO! -[Milo giggles]

[drilling sound]

What are we planting next, Dad?

Crunchy carrots, Milo.

And who knows what's special about carrots?

[All] Oh! Me! Me! I know!

-They help you see in the dark! -[chuckling]

That's right. And why do we water them?

Because it makes them grow big and tall!

Can you water me, Milo's Dad? I want to be as tall as Lofty!

-[laughter] -I don't think it will have the same effect on you.

-[bell rings] -A customer!

[water splashing]

Heh...

Oh! Hello, Mrs Sweep! You look like you've been busy!

Oh, very busy! The gardening business is blooming!

[laughter]

Have you planted many plants?

One or two, Milo!

I've been potting my pansies,

fertilising my fuchsias, and hydrating my hydrangeas!

They'll bloom into a rainbow of colour

as far as they eye can see!

Wow!

Oof! You have been hard at work, Mrs Sweep.

Can we clean that outfit of yours for you?

[triumphant fanfare]

Aw, thanks ever so much! Ciao!

We'll take these to Suds, Mum!

Hi Suds!

Hello, my bubbly-buddies! What have you got for me today?

It's a gardener's outfit, Suds!

Hmm, I'm detecting... summer roses and freshly cut grass!

And just a hint of...

smelly compost! [cough]

We'll soon have these smelling as fresh as a daisy!

[laughter]

[whirring]

Suds, do you have any gardener's outfits we can wear?

Let me see now!

-[upbeat music] -[clapping]

[popping sound]

[whooshing sound]

[bubbling]

Wow!

We're gardeners!

[Mrs Sweep] Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...

Now where are they?

I haven't got time for this today!

-What's wrong Mrs Sweep? -Oh goodness me!

Judge Jackson is coming today,

to decide whether my park will make it

into this years' Perfect Park Guide!

Ooh!

But I've still got so much to do to get the park ready!

And the thing is, Dame Delores' chrysanthemums need pruning!

I've never let her down before! Oh dear oh dear!

Why don't we look after the park for you!

Then you can prune Dame Delores'... umm...

Chrysanthemumums!

You?

Well I suppose you do look like gardeners!

Okay, you're hired!

[All] Yes!

So here we have your plants,

hardy perennials, shrubs, climbers, scented herbs, and bedding

-Got it! -And here are your tools.

Spades for digging. A hose for watering.

Leaf blower for blowing leaves.

And a lawnmower for...

-[All] Mowing the lawn! -[giggles]

Well I think that's everything.

Oops! Silly me! You need the plan!

[All] Wow!

-Good, isn't it! -[chuckles]

As you know, the best gardeners

plan their gardens down to the very last p*nsy!

No droopy daisies in my park, thank you very much!

Leave it to us Mrs Sweep! Don't be late for Dame Delores!

Oh goodness me, no. Turrah now.

Bye.

I'll do the lawn-mowing!

Only if I can do the planting!

And I can do the watering!

Although... this looks fun!

-[air blowing] -[screams]

[All] Wow!

Mrs Sweep's plan!

-No! -[Lofty] Come back!

-It's gone! -Now what do we do?

Let's try and remember what was on it.

There were lots of flowers...

-And grass... -And a little pond!

Sounds like a plan to me!

-[water splashing] -[chuckles]

Let's get gardening!

[happy music]

I'll plant these flowers right here!

Where everyone can see them!

Vroom-vroom!

Wee! Woohoo!

Oh! I'm making stripes! Let's do some more!

[chuckles]

Ooh, this is a long hose!

-Oh! -[chuckles]

Are you in a tangle, Lofty?

-Um... a little bit. -I'll help you.

[screams]

Oh! Mind my flowers, Lofty!

-[screams] -Sorry!

I've planted one whole flowerbed!

Oh good I'll go and water them!

[water splashing]

This grass looks thirsty.

Hi Milo!

Hey Lofty, look how fast I can go!

Woohoo!

Oh! Milo!

You mowed my flowerbed!

I didn't know you were planting flowers here!

Well now I'm planting another one over there.

So try not to mow it please!

Okay. Sorry Lark!

-[water splashing] -Anything ready for watering?

[air blowing]

Huh?

[water splashing]

Hey, Lofty!

My hose!

Woah! Come back, Milo!

[screaming]

-[screaming] -Lofty?

[screams]

No! Stop!

[screams]

[car brakes squeaking]

Oh! Look at the park!

What have we done?

Made a bit of a mess, I think.

We won't get into Perfect Parks Guide with this garden

We needed to plant an award-winning garden...

Not make a huge mess.

[sighs] Gardening is hard!

Mrs Sweep didn't plan for that!

A plan! What did Mrs Sweep say?

'The best gardeners plan their gardens...

Down to the very last p*nsy!'

But Milo chopped up all the pansies!

And we lost the plan!

Then let's make a new plan and stick to it!

[All] Yes!

[happy music]

[air blowing]

[water splashing]

[car engine revving]

[giggling]

Judge Jackson!

I hope the park is ready to be judged.

It's as ready as we can make it!

Quite good, well I'm mildly impressed.

Ooh! I'm back. [whispering] How did we do?

My verdict is...

[dramatic pause]

...this park is wonderful!

Woohoo!

In fact, this park will be our featured most perfect park!

Most Perfect Park!

I can barely believe it!

Oh, what wonderful gardeners you are!

Yes!

[giggling]

And how did my little gardeners get on?

It was brilliant, Suds!

We were getting the park ready for a competition...

but we lost the plan!

So we tried to do the garden without a plan...

But we made a terrible mess!

But then we made a new plan... and stuck to it... and won!

When I grow up, I think it would be amazing to be a...

GARDENER!
