Once upon a time, in a cozy little town, there was a very strange community garden. This wasn't your regular garden with just flowers and veggies. No, sir! This special garden could whisper at night. I never knew plants could talk until I met the mysterious Night Gardener. I'll tell you a secret; I was a little scared at first!
Every night, when the moon was bright, the garden would start its secret chit-chat. The carrots would chatter, and the roses would rumble, but nobody knew what they said. That's because only the Night Gardener could understand them. He was as quiet as a library on a Monday morning but knew exactly how to calm the noisy plants.
The Night Gardener wore a big hat and had a long, flowy coat that danced in the wind when he walked. Nobody had seen his face clearly, because he only came out when the stars were waking up. Some folks in town thought the garden was spooky because it grew fast, super duper fast, especially at night!
I decided to spy on the garden one night. I tiptoed across the street, hopped the little fence, and hid behind a bush. That's when I heard the whispers for myself. They were talking about secrets! The tomato vines revealed that they loved ticklish raindrops, and the peach tree confessed that it snored in the wintertime.
Suddenly, the Night Gardener appeared. He walked straight to a patch of bluebell flowers and whispered, 'It's okay, no more nightmares.' The flowers gently stopped shivering and began to bloom beautifully. It was like magic! I rubbed my eyes, wondering if it was all a dream.
The next evening, I brought a piece of my mom's famous chocolate cake to the garden. 'Hello, plants! Hello, Mr. Gardener!' I called out. 'I want to understand your whispers, too.' To my surprise, the Night Gardener turned around and... he had twinkling eyes and a friendly smile under that big ol' hat!
He said, 'Little one, plants have lots to say, if only we listen. They sing of sunbeams and dance in the rain. They whisper worries away and dream in green.' That's how I learned the garden's secret. It was a place for happy whispers, and the Night Gardener was its keeper, making every leaf and petal feel loved.
