Meet Grandma
Grandma stands at an impressive 4 feet and 10 inches. She can, but won’t, kick your ass. Grandma begins the story as an isolated widow. Her last dog just died, and she has sworn off all companions - in fear that they will outlive her. She decides to uproot her life and move to Hickory Hollow. Here, she can finally achieve her dream of raising a beautiful and lavish garden. To her surprise, her thumb is more than just green! It’s magic!
As Grandma begins her new life in Hickory Hollow, her sweet golems help her gain a sense of belonging once again!
Meet the Golems
Golems are little guardians of the garden, born from the tender love and care of a gardener. Each golem has its own unique personality and story arc. Their story arcs contain a theme of a common struggle shared by older people.
For example, the fluffy cotton golem is a forgetful and dreamy little guy. He and grandma bond over their shared struggle with memory loss.
