Garden Wars: a personalized comic book gift
Their tomatoes are a source of fierce pride, their roses are on a first-name basis with them and the snails are the enemy. This comic turns their garden into a battlefield where the hero wages war on slugs, weeds and the neighbor's suspiciously large pumpkin. Their face leads the charge on every page, trowel raised high. Name their prize plant, the pest they hate most and what they mutter at the hedges, and you have a personalized book for adults with a green thumb and a competitive streak.

Questions about this comic
Can it feature their real garden and prize plants?
Yes. Tell us their favorite plants, the pest they battle and their gardening habits in the hero questions, and use the 'anything special' field for the real rivalry or the record harvest. The story grows from those details.
Is this too silly for a serious gardener?
Not at all. Tell us in your answers whether you want them cast as a fearless garden warrior or celebrated for the care they put into every bed, and the three story ideas we write lean that way. You can also adjust the words in the editor.
