Welcome to Dan the Gardener & Friends, where stories, nature, and imagination grow side by side.

Set in the gentle world of Three Little Woods, our characters, Dan the Gardener, Jake, Nan Fran, Jennifer Pickles, and Recycle Michael, plus many more, inspire children to explore, create, and care for the world around them. Through their adventures, children discover that small actions, like planting seeds, recycling, or helping a friend, can make a big difference.

As our stories grew, something wonderful blossomed: a deeper purpose. Nature has a remarkable way of helping children who think, feel, and experience the world differently. Many have busy, curious minds, especially those with ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity, and they often thrive when given the freedom to move, touch, and create. The outdoors encourages exactly that: a space to breathe, play, and grow in their own way.

Through storybooks, animation, activities, and hands-on adventures, Dan the Gardener & Friends helps children and families reconnect with nature, creativity, and each other. It’s about finding calm in the outdoors, building confidence through curiosity, and showing that caring for our planet can be fun, peaceful, and full of satisfaction.

Our mission is simple:
🌿 To inspire children to love the world around them and to make sure every child feels seen, valued, and included.
🌍 To encourage families to live a little greener and to show that caring for our planet can be playful, peaceful, and full of heart.
💚 Because in Three Little Woods, everyone belongs and everything grows.

Our Motto: It only takes small changes to make a big difference.
