And yet, nobody has ever seen Miss Gladys Thornprickle, or anyone else for that matter, tend to it.

Bo Humerus, the town doctor—leading the town's folk to believe there must be only one explanation: she is a witch who has cast a spell over her garden. When a group of kids, led by the Mayor's son Buster Bluster, dare to trespass, they discover the truth behind the garden's tempting beauty and Miss Gladys herself...the hard way.
