May 2009 Treasure Hunt – Snook’s Garden Centre

We don’t have far to travel for our next treasure hunt clue.  Although the photo lists the shop as being in Caledon Stormhold, Snook’s Garden Centre is currently located on the sim of Giverny, and Soliel Snook is a co-owner of the sim.  There is a lot going on as the gardens transition from spring to summer.   The herbs are all coming up and the vegetable gardens are planted.  Flower beds have been arranged by color – pink, blue, yellow, purple, and white.   A new orchard has started to bear fruit as well.  Pears, cherries, apples, and peaches were all textured and hand-drawn by Soliel, and the play of sunlight and shadow on the leaves is just lovely.

For the treasure hunt, we need to look for a yellow Rubber Ducky Umbrella.  It is an adorable yellow umbrella with multi-coloured polka dots and a bright blue handle.  Somehow the umbrella got upended and filled with water.   Three rubber duckies float happily in the water.  Take a look at the faces of the duckies.  The expression is wonderfully comical.  You can also find the umbrella in black with mult-coloured polka dots.  Either way, you need to write down the prim count for the competition.
