On fair Verona Drive live warring next door neighbours Miss Montague and Mr. Capulet, each proud of their own garden: themed blue and red, respectively.
Each garden is home to a legion of gnomes, and much like their owners, the inhabitants of the gardens are not on friendly terms either. The blue gnomes are led by Lady Bluebury, whilst the red chief is Lord Redbrick.
Their respective children, Gnomeo and Juliet, are slightly less keen to continue the age-old feud: and even less so when a chance meeting leads to romance between the young pair. Between the high-speed lawnmower chases and stealth missions, hearts (and hats) are broken, loyalties are tested and garden boundaries drawn, but can true gnomance conquer all?
When your best friends are an over-excitable frog, a lovelorn flamingo and a loyal mushroom, there's no telling what could happen.
