The only means of escape was to perfect his gerdening skills and produce a garden which the Gnome King would be proud of. GARDENING IN "THE MAGIC GARDEN" ------------------------------ The MAGIC GARDEN comprises a lawn,flower borders,a shed,a greenhouse, a vegetable patch, and old tree, a fountain,flowerbeds,a well,a bird table and below a maze of tunnles leading to the underground world of the naughty gnomes. The entire garden is affected by the unstable climate, which rapidly changes from cold to hot and wet to dry. Presiding over everything is th Gnome King. The lawn grows and must be moved. When mowing it is very important not to run over lawn creatures. To avoid this an insect repulsor is provided along with you lawn mower. The naughty gnomes will, if not caught, delighy in removing turf from the lawn, When this happens use the lawn speed provided. Failing to mantain the water level of the fountain will result in the fish escaping in search of water. They may be caught with a net and returned to the fountain, hurry though as failure to return them quickly will cause the gnome king to take action. The lawn is home to rampaging flowers who previously found themseleves uncared for. It is unwise to get to close as they will take revenge for their predicament, a stun gun is advised. The shed houses most tools of the gardeners trade. The generator powers some of the implements and must itself be powered by the solar panels, which will need to be put in place. The objects are many and varied and their uses must be discovered and utilised. The greenhouse is important for growing specialost flowers which can work wonders for the gardener. Temperatures of the greenhouse, along with that of the shed, must be closely monitored.
