Synopsis

Uncle Onion is having trouble with the crows on his vegetable patch because they keep eating his crops. Berry and Butterbur are chasing crows, but they find it rather tiring. Delphinium comes to the rescue by draping her hat and cloak around a stick. They all think it a marvelous invention, and they decide to call it a "scarecrow."

Production notes

Stop-motion animation.

Wherever there are flowers, trees and grass, there are Windfalls. These charming characters introduce pre-school children to the world of nature and the environment.

The series follows three central characters, Berry, Butterbur and Rosebay, whose adventures in Windfall Land illustrate facts from nature, including weatherlore (daisies close up and go to sleep on cloudy days) and folk medicine (a doc leaf cures a nettle sting). The Windfalls have classic charm and teach children about the plants that thrive in the world around them.
