Notes

Description
A young girl and her Nana hold a special bond that blooms in the surroundings of Nanas magical garden. Then one day, the girl finds many weeds in the garden. She soon discovers that her beloved Nana has Alzheimers Disease; an illness that affects an adult brain with tangles that get in the way of thoughts, kind of like how weeds get in the way of flowers. As time passes, the weeds grow thicker and her Nana declines, but the girl accepts the difficult changes with love, learning to take-over as the gardens caregiver.
