There is a new couple down in the old Winery Gardens, outside of the Winery walls, and they have a mission.
Equestrian Center Gardener
Hello! What a gorgeous horse you have!
I’m sorry. I should introduce myself. I am Bjorn, master gardener, artist, and renaissance man, at your service. Your horse must be the most beautiful horse to ever trod the green hills of Jorvik. I absolutely have to paint a portrait of your horse sometime!
Aha, and here beside me is Agnetha, my dear wonderful wife. Together we are a formidable gardening team with a brilliant vision, a sacred mission! We are going to restore the Winery gardens to their former glory.
Now I have a great idea! You should join us! No… I won’t take no for an answer. I can see it now… Bjorn, Agnetha, and Rita… In an article together in the Jorvik Gazette… “Together they accomplished the task of the century and restored the Eighth Wonder of the World – The Silverglade Gardens!”
This is going to be fantastic! Take these measuring sticks, or whatever they are called, and put them into the ground over there by the paddock. When that is done, my dear wife Agnetha can start working.
Objectives: Plan the measuring sticks around the garden beside the paddock.
Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP
Reputation: 5 with Winery Master Gardeners
Go up the hill towards the outdoor arena, and place the markers on the indicated locations. This is the home of the future Sun Garden. When you are done, return to Bjorn.
That’s great Rita! This is so exciting! Now you need to speak with Agnetha, let her know she can start clearing the garden now. Hurry, hurry, hurry!

A Careful Cleaning of the Land
Wait.
Wait…
BURRRRP!!!
Whoa… That really hit the spot! That was a great sandwich. Full of mayonnaise, shrimp, and all sorts of great stuff. What can I do for you now?
Whoa… Hold it right there. You don’t get to ride up her on your little pony and try to tell me how you should clear some land. I don’t think so. Listen to me now little girl. This requires the real thing!
Ride over to my old friend Barney and ask him to return the chainsaw I loaned him last year… That and a little dynamite I have under my bed should be just the thing to get this job done right in this little garden.
This is going to be perfect… Then my little darling man can put his little flowers just where he wants them.
Objectives: Borrow a chainsaw from Barney.

Barney can be found at his silo near Silverglade Village.

Agnetha’s Chainsaw
This chainsaw wasn’t really of much use to me Rita. It is so big that it takes at least three men to even lift it off the ground. Taking it away on horseback shouldn’t be a problem though.

Agnetha should be happy to see her precious dear chainsaw again.
It’s about time, Rita. And here is the chainsaw we talked about, let’s have a look at it…
It is smaller than I remember, but… I guess it might work to clear the area with this little toothpick… But it might take a long time.
Okay. Come back tomorrow, stand back and let a real woman do her job.

Plumbing in the Garden
Ah ah aaa! That is close enough Rita. You don’t need to come any close than that on your little horse.
Ah yes. We will need to repair the pipes. You should know that here on this old broken farm the pipes are of the worst possible quality. They break all the time and I don’t have time to fix them all AND help Bjorn with everything he wants done. He is completely worthless with anything that resembles real work, just in case you haven’t figured that out yet. How are you with fixing things, sweetie? Are you as useless as Bjorn or are you ready to get dirty and get things done?
You can? I’m glad to hear it. We like your kind of person here.
Have a look at these things here. This is my plumbing work kit. Be careful with it as these things are expensive. Take the tools with you to the garden and repair those broken pipes and come back later. Don’t be lazy now. This is good old-fashioned work.
Objectives: Repair the pipes over by the Sun Garden.

The Big Secret
Listen now, little Rita. The real secret behind this garden idea is a new invention, a super-fertilizer that I have discovered. It should get the flowers to grow and bloom in no time at all. You thought I was only good at running chainsaws and blowing things up, didn’t you? Well… You thought wrong. I have a good head on my shoulders, alright.
When I worked over at Jorvik Stables, I used to muck the stalls, from morning to late at night, every day. I noticed everything grew very fast on the manure pile. I tested it by tossing a bundle of seeds on the pile one night and when I came back in the morning the pile was coated with tulips. So I asked Herman, the boss there, “Herman sweetie, it doesn’t make sense for this fertilizer to just be lying here, right? Why don’t I just buy it all for a cheap penny?” and he answered “Of course you can.” So now I have exclusive rights to the world’s best fertilizer, direct from Jorvik Stables, and we are going to use it to grow our flowers.
But anyways little Rita. I’m standing here and wasting valuable time we could be using to work instead. Here, take this sack of super-fertilizer and empty it in the Sun Garden. I know it doesn’t exactly smell like roses but you can use a clothespin on your nose.
Objectives: Spread the fertilizer out on the flower beds in the Sun Garden.
Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP
Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners
Place the fertilizer on the indicated spots in the garden, the return to Agnetha when you are finished.
Well done Rita! Now we just have to wait and let the super-fertilizer do its work. Come back tomorrow and we’ll have a look at it.
Quest completed
Return to Agnetha tomorrow.
______________
Not Only Flowers
Listen up now. My patented super-fertilizer works too well. It isn’t only the flowers that grow quickly… But the weeds too. We’ll we can’t have that, can we? Now it is time for you to roll up your sleeve and do some honest old-fashioned work. You are a little skinny to use my chainsaw… Don’t you eat enough breakfast?
Anyways, this is what we should do. Take these garden shears and clear out all the weeds in the Sun Garden. Don’t come back until all the weeds are gone. Get to it… Go on… Go.
Objectives: Get rid of the weeds in the Sun Garden.
Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Thirsty Flowers
Rita, come over here for a second.
You… Well… This isn’t good.
You didn’t do a good job when you were repairing the pipes in the Sun Garden. Now they are spraying water all over the place again. We don’t like this kind of bad quality work here, little Rita. You’ll need to run down there and repair the pipes again… But do it properly this time. I’ve got my eye on you Rita.
Objectives: Repair the pipe by the Sun Garden again.

Repair the pipe the same way you did the first time, the return to Agnetha.
There we go. I don’t see water spraying all over the place anymore.

Now we’ll wait and see what happens. One more night, Rita, and I’m sure we’ll see the flowers have bloomed.

Invasion in the Garden
Hold on there, Rita. We have a serious situation here that I need to take care of.
You want to help?
That’s the right attitude, Rita! I can always count on you through thick and thin!
Listen up now. Some sneaky parasites have sneaked into the garden and are trying to steal the fruit of our labor. Those little biters are sneaky as can be and I haven’t managed to catch a single one of them. I am completely worn out… No matter how quick I am, they jump back down into their holes as soon as I get close. I think you need to sneak up on them… Maybe you could give it a try?
Good! Take this sack and stuff it with those little guys. You’ll need to sneak up on them to be able to catch them, remember that.
Objectives: Catch the chipmunks in the garden. Sneak up on them from behind and catch them in the sack. Remember they are scared of you and your horse, so don’t put your horse too close to any of the holes.
Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP
Reputation: 25 with Winery Master Gardeners
You have to approach the chipmunks from behind or from the side. If you approach from the front, they will jump into their hole. When you move away from the hole, they will jump back out, facing a different direction.
When you have caught all of the chipmunks, return to Agnetha.
Well done, Rita! There are a lot of those little guys in the sack!
What should we do with these little parasites? I’d like to throw them off a cliff… But Bjorn would never agree to anything like that.

Back to Bjorn
Agnetha? She is completely crazy, Rita! Are you sure you are going to work for her? Did you know she worked on my farm before? But it didn’t work out. Even on Sundays she was out there chopping wood and plowing the fields. I thought she would take some time off… But she never did, ever. She didn’t want me to rest either! I was afraid of going out of my house until it was dark. I had to let her go… It was just too stressful having her here.
But send my greetings to Bjorn and let him know the chipmunks are going to fit in well here. Bye bye, Rita!
Objectives: Ride back to Bjorn.

Return to Bjorn and tell him that the little chipmunks will live out their lives happily on Steve’s farm.
Hello Rita! So our little chipmunks are going to have a good life over at Steve’s? That is great to hear. Agnetha can get a little fired up when she thinks people are not working hard enough… So she doesn’t get along well with Steve. I think it is a little sad… Steve and I have a lot in common…
But you, Rita. Now we need to work day and night to get these flowers to bloom! We can’t possibly manage it without your help, so please come here every day, take care of a couple things, and before you know it… It will be harvest time! I’m so excited about all of this, I just might pee myself!

A Vision for the Sun Garden
Wait… I have a vision…
Yeeessss! That is how it should be! Think Rita, you are sitting and relaxing, surrounded by our beautiful flowers. What could be more relaxing than that? I’ll tell you! A little pool with bubbling fresh water!
As luck would have it, we already have a pool here but there are so many holes in it that I am afraid to fill it with water. If you can find stones for me, I can patch it. We can’t just use any old rocks… They need to be the exact right kind, otherwise it will look uncommonly awful… You understand, right?
The perfect stones are only at one place in all of Jorvik… Below the cliffs to the Winery. So it isn’t that far away… Pretty lucky right?!
Ride over there, close to the riding arena, and collect some of those perfect stones. Hurry!
Objectives: Pick up some stones down the cliff from the Winery, close to the riding arena.

Flower Proof
Have they really restored the Sun Garden, Rita? And it looks good? A really good job, you say? I’m not really sure I can really believe what you are saying. I thought at most they would clear up the flower beds but it sounds like they have completely restored everything. Can they continue with the work of restoring the gardens, you ask?
I don’t know, Rita. It is a big responsibility that requires experienced tradesmen. The vineyard has a long history and I won’t have hobby-builders destroying a part of that history with shoddy work.
For them to continue, I will need to see evidence of the quality of their work, Rita. Let’s do this, around here on the estate we have empty white flower pots that you have probably seen. If Bjorn and Agnetha plant some of their flowers in them, I will get a chance to see how they look. If I find that the flowers are of acceptable quality, then they can continue in their project.

When I asked her why, she told me I should stop whining and get a shovel to help. She also said the old raisins shouldn’t be lying around just collecting a pension!

Rider Bjorn
Rita, sometimes you need to choose your path in life. It is important to do what makes you love if you are going to be happy. It is a bit of wisdom that I wanted to share with you.
So, it is now time for me to change paths. I am going to start riding! It looks like such amazing fun every time I see you and Summerblaze riding around here.
The garden? Which garden? Aha… Nah… Forget that Rita. That was ages ago… I’ve moved on. That was an earlier chapter in my life. Now I’m going to move on to something I’ve dreamed of for my whole life… Or at least since this morning… Riding!
I have spoken with Judy at the Equestrian Center, and she has promised to lend me a horse. Would you mind riding over there to get it for me, Rita?
Hurry, hurry, hurry!

A Horse for Bjorn
It doesn’t sound like the best idea in the world Rita. Bjorn isn’t exactly what we would call… Responsible. But I can think he might be able to borrow old Brunte for a bit. Brunte is the kindest and calmest horse we have and if anything happens he will just make his way back here.
You don’t really need to put a lead on Brunte at all… Just go up to him and show him where he should go. He is standing over there by the stables.
Objectives: Escort Brunte to Bjorn.
Rewards: 10 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

The horse is standing in the stables behind you. Approach him and continue to stay close to him as he makes his way down to the garden. Speak with Bjorn when the horse is delivered.
Wow… What a stately trot! His name is Brunte? That must be the most perfect horse name I have ever heard! A trot worthy of a king! Brunte, do you see me in front of you? You and I are going to be winners in all the championships here in Jorvik together, and later in the whole world!
I think Agnetha wanted to talk to you about something Rita. Now I have to go out and win all the races in the whole world! We’ll see you around!
…Now… Let’s see… How do I get up into the saddle? What are these bits of metal going up to Brunte’s mouth? Why do you have bits of metal on your feet…

Brunte? Who is that??
Aha… You think I am going to ride. Nah. Riding is out.Now it is gardening that matters! I don’t know how you can think riding is cool… Nothing personal, Rita… When you could be gardening instead!

Fantastic Rita! I can just see the Rose Garden as it will be… Anyone who sees our roses will never be able to appreciate the beauty of anything else… Anything else will seem ugly and boring… And the memory of our Rose Garden will be the only worthwhile experience on earth. It’s true Rita, tragic but true. I almost wish it wasn’t, but it is our sacred duty as gardeners to carry out.

Test Bjorn’s Riding Trail
I don’t know how I am going to be able to handle the wait for the roses Rita! Do you feel it too?
No? You are so funny Rita. I almost believe you. You know what? So that you have something else to think of… Maybe you would like to try my race track? A long time ago I was interested in riding… I was a fantastic rider and I won every single prize that there was to win on Jorvik. Then I built a race track. I don’t want to brag, but it is actually the best race in the whole world. What do you think, are you ready to test it?
I don’t want you to hurt yourself to keep your eyes on the trail and don’t be distracted by how fantastic it is. Good luck!

Bushes for the Winery
Rita, while we wait for the roses to bloom, you can help me with something else. I know, everything outside of the roses feels completely unimportant right now, but this is another project that really needs to be done.
We have elevated the beauty of the Winery from the old shell it used to be to almost looking like it belongs close to our gardens. But the Winery needs extra help from us to not be completely overshadowed by our fantastic gardens.
Take these bushes and plant them around the mansion Rita, so that the people working up there don’t begin to weep uncontrollably because they have to work up there instead of here with us.
Objectives: Plant bushes at the Winery.

It doesn’t matter… We need to build a fountain right away!

Fountain Building
I don’t understand, Rita… How does this fit together… This thingy should attach to that whatchamacallit… Or should this attach to that there?
…
No! This is not going to work! My aesthetic senses are screaming! This manual is not only useless, it is also criminally ugly too!
Rita, I simply can’t look at this manual any longer without vomiting. You can put the fountain together instead. Do it in place in Agnetha’s Grove so I won’t have to look at it until it is finished. Don’t come back here until you are done, we can’t waste a single second until it is done! Hurry, hurry!

Back to Agnetha
Agnetha, I remember her. She worked for me as an apprentice…
Do you know her?
What do I think of her?
A fantastic person! A dependable rock of a human being. Like me, she worked day and night and never let anything get in the way of the work. I wanted her to remain here as my apprentice so I could teach her the art of blacksmithing and train her to be the best blacksmith Jorvik has ever seen.
But then that hideous Bjorn had carried her off with his talk of gardens and how together they would be famous gardeners. Agnetha would conquer the world, he said, and Agnetha feel for it all. She gave up everything she had to follow him and help him achieve his dreams.
It really was a terrible shame… She had so much potential… And it was all ruined by a ridiculous dreamer with nothing but air between his ears.
But… Love is like that. It can make the best of us do the worst things.
Now, here is an iron gate like you asked for. Let Agnetha know she is always welcome to come back and apprentice for me any time she likes.

Littering is a Terrible Crime
Rita, a master gardener’s work is never truly done. Have you ever been up to the old race track? You have? Have you seen that behind it there is a bunch of statues and littler? No? I don’t know how they got there but when I saw them, I felt a darkness in myself. Should these fantastic creations just lie here in the trash when they could be out bringing happiness to people who see them placed out around our gardens?
Then cam a vision, Rita, you understand? You know what we need to do? Can you picture it?
No?
It doesn’t matter, we need to follow my vision. Bring the statues back from the old race track and I’ll explain my plan a bit better.
