This whole event was quite the to do! The Potts family seemed to have gone way above and beyond this year and Tabitha was delighted. She had heard there was a whole section devoted to healing herbs and magical plants for potions but she had yet to find it. Still, she was more than happy to wander with her aunt in tow. Her father's sister was visiting and thought that a good opportunity for Tabitha to get out of the house and "be social." Tabs wasn't going to argue for an event like this. If she was getting dragged out, this would be her preference.

So far she had made it through some exciting sections (the lily pads!) and found herself now in a more traditional garden typical of the region. It was still absolutely breathtaking, the sheer amount of different colors and flowers all carefully coordinated within the hedges.

She was admiring the hydrangea bushes when she heard someone shout. Tabi looked just in time to see a garden gnome scurry right under her skirts! "Oh, oh my!" She screeched, lifting up the hem of her lilac-colored dress to see if she could see it, petticoats visible as she sort of danced around trying to see if it was still under there.
