Premise

Lilybuds live in a garden as the tiny magical gardeners. They can grow lovely plants, flowers, any kind, and they are aware of animal creatures nearby.

Characters

= Lilybuds =

  • Zinnia (voiced by Jules de Jongh) is the messenger of the Lilybuds. She warns them when humans come by.
  • Rose (voiced by Joanna Ruiz) is the most positive lilybud and the leader of the group. She is mostly the one who grows the flowers and plants.
  • Cap (voiced by Hugo Harold Harrison) is the nervous lilybud of the Lilybuds. He gets scared when he sees something that is scary to him, but there is out to be something else. He is similar to a mushroom.
  • Daffodil (voiced by Nicola Stanton) is the most helpful lilybud who loves to knit.
  • Thistle (voiced by Sara Markland) is the clumsiest lilybud of the Lilybuds. She plans things and unexpectedly gets ruined.
  • Moss (voiced by Oliver Mason) is the most excitable lilybud who is at least worried about things getting lost.
  • Lilac (voiced by Teresa Gallagher) is the most fashionable lilybud who is often very silly, sarcastic and dramatic and wants to do things her way.
  • Thorn (voiced by Jamie Quinn) is the cook of the Lilybuds. He helps out with Bucky to make food. He is always on the lookout for Ellery, preventing him from stealing their food.

= Animals =

  • Bucky (voiced by Jamie Quinn) is the helpful beaver. He helps Thorn make and organise food.
  • Spearmint (voiced by Chris Neill) is a jerboa who is best friends with Zinnia. They do park patrols together.
  • Ellery (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is the naughty and sarcastic chipmunk who loves to steal. He always plans to steal Thorn and Bucky's food, but his plans are getting backfired by Thorn.
  • Plum (voiced by Jules de Jongh) is a baby possum who worries and gets scared a lot like Cap.
