Meet Gerti  

Fun Facts

Grumpy elder      

Peace, quiet, shrub naps      

Loud younglings, change       

Claims to have seen five garden redecorations.      

Mini Bio: Gerti the tortoise lives under a shrub and is roughly a million years old (probably). She grumbles, grunts, and doesn’t move for anyone—unless there’s cake.   

Full Bio: Gerti is older than the fence, grumpier than a cold puddle, and slower than garden gossip. She lives under a shrub and refuses to move for anyone unless there’s cake, chaos, or someone has stolen her favourite sunbeam. Gerti complains about everything—mud, music, Mondays—but secretly, she loves her oddball garden gang. When she grumbles “I’m too old for this nonsense,” everyone just nods, then immediately drag her into the nonsense anyway.
