Gordon the Garden Gnome

Slug Path protestors prevent Gordon from building a new stone path across his border because it traverses one of their ancient pathways. They have a map to prove it, and it seems that wherever Gordon proposes building his path, it’s in someone’s way! So, Percy lends Gordon his patented ‘Dangle-a-Gnome’ device to help him reach his plants. When this catapults him into his tree, he discovers that everyone’s been reading the Slugs’ map the wrong way up. All the bug pathways are on the other side of his garden and it’s ok for Gordon to build his new path exactly where he wanted it!

Percy wins a competition and heads off for a day out at Gadget Heaven Theme Park - but not before he's instructed Gordon in the finer point of his garden maintenance schedule. Unfortunately, the Chief Gnome has other plans for Percy's garden and insists that Gordon supervise the trainee Ian Gnome in looking after the garden to further his education. Predictably, Ian's talent doesn't live up to Percy's rigorous standards and Gordon has to solve numerous gardening disasters. Can Gordon get the garden back into perfect condition before Percy returns that evening?

Gordon is busy clearing up the leaves in his garden, but never seems to be able to complete the job. As fast as he catches them, or rakes them up, two tiny hedgehogs keep messing up his nice neat piles of leaves. Eager to learn how Percy keeps his garden so tidy, Gordon has a demonstration of Percy’s ‘Floaty Leaf Spray’ and motorised ‘Leaf Vacuum’. Both end up making a bigger leaf-mess in Gordon’s garden. But Gordon’s solution was in his garden all the time – leaves stick to hedgehogs, and it’s great fun for the hedgehog kids to roll around collecting them!

Gordon loses his magic hat! A gnome’s hat is as precious as a fairy’s wand, and without it, strange things start to happen to remind Gordon to keep looking for it. After one day his nose turns into a pinecone. Then his hair grows long and green. Then his boots grow three times larger!! Everyone, except Gordon, finds this very funny! Can Gordon find his hat before things get really out of hand?

Gordon, Percy, Jerome and Rosie all make wacky scarecrows to frighten the crows that have been eating all their crops. But nothing seems to scare these birds. It's only when Gordon takes a fresh look at the problem that the best solution is found. He creates a fantastic bird-table and supplies the crows with an alternative diet of tasty nuts and seeds from his stores. In return, the crows agree to stay away from the vegetables.

The Chief Gnome wants Jerome to tidy his garden, but can't find him to tell him! Gordon is sent off to locate Jerome and deliver the Chief's instruction - to tidy his garden or it will be mowed down! Gordon and Andrew the worm embark upon a jungle expedition into the wilderness that is Jerome’s garden. They eventually find Jerome, plus many of the things Jerome has previously borrowed from Gordon! They also find a very rare and exotic orchid. This wonderful little flower is the solution to saving Jerome's garden from destruction! Jerome’s garden is designated a "Nature Reserve"!

Gordon gets permission from the Chief Gnome to build a Bee Hive in his garden, so that he can collect some fresh honey for his breakfast. He plants lavender to attract the bees and conducts interviews with Queen Bees to live in the hive. But the Queen and Drone he selects are a little fussier about their living quarters once they know the hive is theirs. Poor Gordon is given the run-around, rearranging his garden and building additional accommodation. When Gordon discovers that his bees are not even Honeybees, they are Bumblebees and will never produce enough honey to share with him, they have to go!

When an unusual plant arrives unexpectedly in Gordon’s garden, Gordon assumes there’s been a mix-up in the Gnome Post. But Percy, Rosie and Jerome aren’t expecting a delivery either, so Gordon sets off with Andrew around the world, to return the plant to its proper home. In each location Gordon discovers clues as to the plant’s natural habitat - whether it likes hot or cold, dry or wet climates – and they soon find the owner. But the Chief Gnome is hot on Gordon’s heels looking for the plant too - it’s a surprise present for his wife Gladioli’s birthday.

Lez and Dez, the Slugs, want to get their own back on Gordon for never letting them eat the gardens’ plants. When Gordon’s not looking they sneak under his hat and repeat a magic growth spell they have just overheard Gordon use. Lez and Dez are soon ordering Gordon to give them food and because they are bigger than him, he can’t refuse. But when Gordon finds out how the Slugs became large he tricks them into believing that they have eaten all the food in the world. Then he puts them on a strict diet and exercise regime to get them back to their normal ‘small’ selves again.

Gordon retrieves his watering can from Jerome and discovers an egg inside it. Chirpy, the baby bird is born and mistakes Gordon for his Mummy, unaware that his real mother is busy looking for him. Chirpy follows Gordon everywhere tries his best to help Gordon with his garden tasks. Unfortunately he usually messes things up! Yet Gordon can’t be angry with Chirpy for long and is delighted when Chirpy learns to fly for the first time – especially as this leads to him being reunited with his real Mother.
