Oopsie Gardeners Book 1 – Gardeners Extraordinaires is a humorous junior fiction series. 

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 junior fiction series full of silly mix-ups, garden mishaps, kindness, and blooming where you’re planted.
Perfect for readers aged 6–10 who love a whole lot of fun.
