One garden. Two bunnies. Endless oopsies.

Pip and Pat Pickle just want to sell lettuce.

Instead, they accidentally get hired as the official gardeners at the joyfully messy Goodworth Estate.

With one week to complete a list of very confusing tasks ('Make the fountain sparkle'?), they must prove they're up to the job... even though they've never gardened before.

Armed with prunes, a serious notebook, and a whole lot of determination, the Pickle siblings soon discover that good things can grow, even from their biggest oopsies.

A laugh-out-loud chapter book series full of silly mix-ups, garden mishaps, kindness, and blooming where you're planted.

Perfect for readers aged 6-10 who love FUN.

    Joy filled, Funny and Wholesome

    My 8yo son and I read this together and we really enjoyed the story of Pip & Pat Pickle - two young entrepreneurial spirited rabbits. Saving up for a gift for their mother, they plan to sell some lettuces but find a whole new set of adventures instead! Funny, clever and filled with goodness, this is an excellent and wholesome story. Pip & Pat have to work as a team to figure out the puzzling instructions and complete the gardening tasks they’ve been set. It has some Christian themed messages, mostly delivered by Granny Marmalade, in kindness and love as Pat & Pip learn not just about becoming good gardeners but also about growing where you are. We absolutely love media that encourages good values in our children, and this does it beautifully. The over arching message for book 1 in this fun series is to bloom where you are planted. My favourite line from the book is “God must love creativity, he created Beetles & Bananas”.

    I’m looking forward to reading this again to my younger children, and seeing what happens in the next book. A great debut!

    Oopsie Gardners is a heartwarming, sweet and beautifully optimistic story. It explores sibling dynamics, faith, grace and creativity. It will definitely make you giggle and the whole family will be smiling by the end at Pat's antics and Pip's problem solving! It's a truly wonderful story about taking chances on yourself!
