In the tiny but mighty state of Rhode Island, a group of super-duper cool kids spend their sunshiny days playing in the soil. Now, don't go thinking these kids are just ordinary dig-in-the-mud, make-a-mess sort of kids. Oh no! These are Rhode Island's finest, green-thumb wielding, vegetable-ridden, garden ninjas! Rhode Island, affectionally called RI, is like a pea in a pod, a tiny state with all the goodness packed in. RI is situated in the New England part of the USA, surrounded by majestic sea waves and charming lighthouses. In this small but sprouting state, the kids take gardening to a whole new level, a level that would make even a carrot stand up straight with pride! The leader of the pack, a funky scarecrow named Captain Compost, guides them on their gardening adventures. With his straw hat perched slightly askew and his plaid shirt as colorful as a rainbow after rain, Captain Compost is not just any old scarecrow. He can bust out the worm dance like nobody's business and has been known to make a tomato blush with his hilarious veggie jokes. These Rhode Island kids and Captain Compost team up to plant seeds of fun and grow gardens of laughter. They water the earth with their giggles and fertilize the soil with their excitement. Every day, they harvest the fruits of their labor, picking shiny red tomatoes, plump blueberries, and curly green beans, all while sharing stories, jokes, and the occasional mud pie. Life in RI is full of surprises, and so are these garden ninjas. They’ll have you laughing so hard, you might just sprout a leaf or two!
