Synopsis
Kirsty Jenkins cherishes her late grandfather's allotment and vows to care for it. When the council's Mr Thomas insists it must go to the next person on the waiting list, Kirsty, along with her half-siblings, devises a daring plan: 'borrowing' a stuffed elephant from the museum to capture Mr Thomas's attention. This bold move might also help her father overcome his grief. A heartwarming tale of family, loss, and determination.
