Janet welcomes the girls to the garden
Rachel and Kirsty are walking towards the address written on a flyer announcing a new community garden project, talking about their current fairy adventures. When they reach the site, they find more volunteers already there, picking up rubbish and pulling weeds. The leader of the project explains to the girls that they have an hour before the The Mayor of Rainspell Island arrives to see if the garden looks like a good idea or if the site should be paved over for cars to park on. She tasks the girls with planting saplings around the outside of the lot and hurries off to talk to the next batch of arriving volunteers.
Rachel knelt down and picked up one of the saplings
As Rachel carries her saplings, the leaves begin shaking and Edie the Garden Fairy flits out from between the branches. The girls quickly explain what’s going on, and Edie helps them by softening the dirt with magic while Kirsty digs holes and Rachel plants the saplings. When they stop for a drink of water, Edie hides in Rachel’s pocket and whispers to the girls how beneficial the various planned features of the new garden can be. But after their break, the girls and other volunteers notice that some of their plants have been pulled out of the ground. Edie uses her magic to replant the ones that the other humans haven’t seen yet, but there’s plenty more mess that the volunteers scramble to fix.
Chasing the fox along
Kirsty climbs onto the back of a small truck to look for the goblin she, Rachel, and Edie suspect is responsible. She spots him in the far corner of the garden, wearing ill-fitting overalls and tossing rubbish around. Running over to him, the girls learn that the goblin has misplaced Edie’s wand and that he wants the site paved over to roller-skate on. He’s sure he dropped the wand in one of the rubbish piles, so the girls begin searching the other ones. Kirsty is the first to notice a fox trailing sparkles as he runs by, and Edie realizes he must have her wand. She turns the girls into fairies to follow, but the goblin chases them, scaring the fox when the fairies might have reached him. The goblin lunges for the wand and gets tangled in a bush while the girls wonder what to do.
The mayor arrives
Edie gets an idea and uses a bit of magic to call some rabbits and squirrels from nearby. She asks them to distract the goblin while she talks to the fox, and turns the girls human so they can help. Rachel plucks four long pieces of grass, and the girls use their lockets of fairy dust to make them sparkle. They hand the decoy wands to the animals, who run around in different directions. The goblin runs off after a rabbit while Edie persuades the fox to hand over her wand.
Back at the site entrance, the mayor is just arriving and all the volunteers are gathered in front of the not-quite-finished garden to see what he’ll say. In a moment when no one is looking, Edie uses her wand to make the garden look just a bit nicer, which is enough to convince the mayor to cancel the paving. The new garden is soon named Rainbow Park.
