Jasmine

Meet Jasmine,  Jake’s best friend and one of the brightest blooms in Three Little Woods.  Her parents run the village garden centre, so she’s grown up surrounded by flowers, soil, and the gentle buzz of bees, especially her tiny friend Queenie the Bee.

While Jake charges through life at full speed, Jasmine prefers to pause and notice the details, the sparkle on a raindrop, the way petals open with the morning sun, or the tiny footsteps of ants along the path. Her calm and patient nature helps everyone around her slow down and appreciate the world a little more.

When Jake’s thoughts start racing, Jasmine knows just what to do, not by telling him to stop, but by showing him how to breathe, plant, and simply be. Together they make the perfect team: Jake’s wild ideas meet Jasmine’s thoughtful touch, turning every adventure with Dan the Gardener into something meaningful and fun.

She loves teaching younger children how to grow bee-friendly plants and make nature crafts from twigs, leaves, and petals. With her soft voice, creative heart, and love for all living things, Jasmine reminds everyone that nature has room for every kind of mind — fast, slow, curious, and kind.

Bees can recognise human faces! That’s one reason Jasmine always greets Queenie the Bee by name, she knows Queenie can tell it’s her!

Her motto: “Slow down, look closer, that’s where the magic grows.”

Jasmines favourite section in the garden centre is the Carnivorous Plants section. Carnivorous plants do not absorb minerals from the soil, but because they still need them, they go elsewhere to trap and eat insects.

A good tip for carnivorous plants is not to trick their traps. Some people put a stick on the trap’s hair to watch it close. This tricks the trap into thinking it has caught a meal when it has not, so it closes when it needs to be open. Please do not do this.
