In a land far, far away, tucked between snowy mountain ranges and deep, echoing forests, lies the enchanting state of Vermont. Now, don't let its size deceive you. Even though it seems small on the map, once you step into its green heart, you will realize it's a place where huge adventures happen! And the most thrilling of these adventures take place in the rich, brown soil - where kids become master gardeners. Meet Burrow Bob, the jolly, giant earthworm with a green beret, who is the gardener's best friend in Vermont. He's always wearing his big toothy smile and loves to tell funny soil jokes. "Why did the tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing!" he'd wriggle, giggling infectiously. He's a firm believer that every kid is a potential green thumb, and he's never wrong! Through every season, you will find the kids of Vermont knee-deep in dirt, sowing seeds, and nurturing tiny plants with the guidance of Burrow Bob. They could be growing sunflowers taller than their Dads, or tomatoes so juicy and red, they’d make a tomato in California blush! They bravely battle slugs and chase away cheeky birds in a heroic effort to protect their precious plants. And when not gardening, they're always up to something fun- racing snails, playing hide and seek among the sunflowers, or having the grandest mud pie cook-offs! Vermont is a magical world where kids and earthworms work together to make the world greener, one garden at a time. And every day here is filled with laughter, dirty fingernails, and the satisfaction of watching their tiny seeds grow into towering giants!
