It’s easy enough to argue that there are more well-known television shows being filmed in Chicago—sets for Dick Wolf’s multiple shows on the city’s ins and outs alone are always popping up.

Tending to a garden is not as easy as it seems. This mockumentary created by Laura Nelson and Evelyn Landow follows the pair as they try their very best to tend to the flora and fauna of a suburban garden, with plenty of lawn-goose outfit changes and crafting in between. The entire series clocks in at only 17 minutes—it’s a short, sweet, simple, and utterly charming look at friendship and a reminder that we should always find joy in overcoming even the smallest obstacles.
