Vegetable Nannies

Family, Theatre, Walkabout

An image of a man and woman facing the camera and smiling. Between them there is a pineapple and a melon with dummies and a pair of eyes attached to them, and they are wrapped in white linen cloth.

The Vegetable Nannies are two eccentric gardeners who are out for a day trip with their family of little ones. 

So, if you see an old pram brimming with some beautiful bouncing baby fruits and vegetables, come over and say hello! No doubt the nannies could use a hand with feeding and taking care of all their adorable babes. Endearing characters include Jessica, the Sweet-Potato Beauty Queen; Oz the talented little Courgette who dreams of becoming an actor; and Babs, the daring down-hill racing Watermelon!
