How will she ever get a pie out of those sickly trees?

Daisy feels hopeless until she discovers a magnificent garden in the forest with healthy, vibrant apple trees. If only she can get some advice from the gardener, perhaps she can liven up her apple trees. Daisy and the gardener become pen pals...but is there something she doesn't know about her helpful correspondent? You'll have to listen to find out.
