The Curious Garden is all about one boy's quest for a greener world... one garden at a time.

While out exploring one day, Liam discovers a struggling garden and decides to take care of it. As time passes, the garden spreads throughout the dark, gray city, transforming it into a lush, green world.

This enchanting tale with environmental themes, teaches us that our own care and determination can help change the world ...... Featuring original music from award winning musician and member of Kneehigh Theatre Alex Lupo, and a cast of celebrated storytellers and puppeteers

Running time 60 minutes
