The Chief Gnome spends the day in Gordon’s garden, trying to become a simple gardening gnome again. Unfortunately, every garden task he is given, from hoeing, to planting seeds and picking beans goes wrong, and the Chief Gnome ends up supervising other work rather than doing anything himself. The Chief Gnome reveals to Gordon that he’s too scared of doing something wrong to get stuck in, so Gordon offers to help him with the basics. The Chief Gnome finally gets his hands dirty and puts in a good day’s work as part of the team.
