They give Daisy strict instructions only to buy grass seeds at the market, but on her way back, Daisy finds a mysterious seed. Scared of what the other cows might think, she hides it away to grow in secret, but absolutely nothing happens. Thankfully, Wise Old Owl is on hand to show Daisy what seeds need in order to grow. What will grow from the seed? Will the cows come around to Daisy’s dream and realise all the benefits of a growing garden? Will Mr Bull ever calm down? Find out in this udderly adorably musical for ages 3-7!

Absolutely Fab!
We used this play at the end of the year with children age 2-4 years old. Songs were easy to learn (we started 7 weeks before the performance). It was fab! Children really got engaged in the production. We slightly simplify the story and reduced the number of characters. All our children were dressed as cows, except Mr. Bull, who was with no doubt the star of the show. Parents enjoyed the show as much as we did. Best one we did so far!
