The Fit

It's time to declutter that closet and give your wardrobe a makeover! For Sven, this means tackling the notorious underwear drawer, where his thorns have claimed more than a few casualties.

Botanical Chill

As the air sheds its winter coat and starts warming up, the first brave tulips decide to make their grand debut, popping up like cheerful little soldiers from their cozy bunkers. You can’t help but plop yourself down among these colorful blooms, soaking in the glorious vibes of spring. But beware! This peaceful flower party is on borrowed time as those pesky flies, wasps, and nats are just waiting to crash the bash and invade your personal space like they own the place. Enjoy the floral show while you can, because soon enough, you'll be playing a game of “swat the fly” instead of “bloom and chill!”

Gardening Mishap

Sven loved gardening SO much! He was carefully getting ready to plant a little Mini Pepper. But he was so excited about the dirt, he forgot all about the hole behind him! He took one excited step back... PLONK! He planted himself by mistake! Now Sven was stuck in the ground like a silly, surprised plant. Wonder if he'll grow peppers?

More Than Meets the Bite

Sven, a cactus with discerning tastes, considers himself quite the gum enthusiast. He appreciates wild flavours and snazzy packaging. But honestly, some gum names seem designed purely to confuse the local wildlife. Take "Smacking Gum." Sven gets it's about flavour, not actual fisticuffs. Try explaining that to the robin who spent a solid five minutes furiously claw-stomping Sven's unopened piece, apparently convinced that aggressive slapping was the first step to chewing it. Sven just sighed, blew a bubble. Zero reading comprehension in the avian community.

Moss

Moss has existed for almost 300-million-years and are best known for carpeting woodlands and forest floors. Mosses help break down exposed groundwork to release nutrients for other plants to grow. They also help in controlling soil erosion by covering the surface and collect water to keep the surrounding plants alive.
