The curious garden

The Curious Garden (2009), written and illustrated by Peter Brown, follows the story of a young boy named Liam who lives in a gray, crowded city. One day, he discovers a small, neglected garden on an abandoned railway. Liam begins to care for the garden, watering plants and tending to the flowers. Over time, the garden grows and spreads, transforming the surrounding city into a greener, more vibrant place. As the story progresses, readers follow Liam’s efforts to nurture the plants and watch how the garden gradually changes the urban environment, attracting wildlife and encouraging growth in unexpected places. The narrative focuses on Liam’s daily care, the growth of the garden, and the way nature begins to thrive within the city.
