Two young boys make the most of their time together in a hospital room.

Rae has a deep connection to their garden of puppets, so much so that when Rae flourishes, so do their flowers. When Rae becomes overwhelmed by the demands of adult life - working, cleaning, keeping up with their loved ones - a neglected sprout of bindweed overwhelms their flowers too. Rae has to slow down and make time for their garden and for themself before losing their puppet plants forever. Bindweed is a story about the value of playfulness and of mindfulness.
