Everyone is looking forward to the Gnome Academy's Topiary Air show. Each Gnome receives his topiary kit from the Chief Gnome, complete with tree, safety helmet and magic compost. Gordon makes a chicken and shows trainee Gnome, Ian exactly how it’s all done. But Ian isn’t content with just watching the grown-ups and he gets into a spot of bother when he tries to fly the Chief Gnome’s special bi-plane. It’s up to Gordon to save him.
