Step 1

Rosetta

Sugar, ever since you first Arrived, you've been so helpful. Talented, too! I've decided it's time for me to teach you your Talent Skills!

Talent Skills will let you use pixie dust to do new and important things, especially when it comes to bringin' each season to the mainland.

Every talent guild has their own set of special skills that have been passed down from Fairy to Fairy since... since the very first Fairies, I suppose!

The first Talent Skill we garden-talents learn is GROW. But to learn it, you'll have to pass a few tests.

How about it, sweet beet? Ready to take the tests an' learn your very first Talent Skill?

If you accept

You're full of pixie pluck, (your name)! Now, I'm sure you think that a skill like Grow is just about helpin' flowers along, right?

Well, it's much more than that. ALL livin' things need to be looked after, both here and on the mainland.

That means they need care an' kindness as well as food an' water. Then they can really bloom, whether they're a tulip, a turnip, or a turtle!

Helpin' things grow requires a lot of flyin' around. Are your wings strong enough? Let's see how you handle flyin' up in Whisperin' Winds!

If you decline

Did I hear you right? You DON'T want to learn Talent Skills? Well, sugar, it's up to you. Have a flitterific day now!

What should I do?

Rosetta

Show me how strong your wings are by flyin' up in Whisperin' Winds. You can get there from Cherryblossom Heights!

I flew in Whispering Winds with Rosetta!

Rosetta

You did great, sugarplum -- let's call that test passed with flyin' colors!

Step 2

Rosetta

Your next test shouldn't be a big surprise -- it's all about gathering. Like I always say, you need lots of supplies to help things grow!

Let's see how good you've gotten at gatherin' seeds. Go get a season's worth of Sunflower Seeds!

What am I looking for?

Rosetta

Silly sapling, you're gatherin' Sunflower Seeds. Try lookin' in the summer meadows!

I have Sunflower Seeds for Rosetta!

Rosetta

Good gatherin', sweet beet! Now let's talk about water. All livin' things need water, o' course.

We garden-talents know our plants. Some want a constant trickle of water, while others want a big gulp every few days.

For the plants that want a trickle, I like to spread snow around them and let the snow melt. It works perfectly!

Step 3

Rosetta

The best snow for this is in Blustery Brush. For your next test, flit on up there, help the Minister of Winter, and bring some snow back!

Where am I going?

Rosetta

Go help the Minister of Winter in Blustery Brush, sugar. The entrance is in Evergreen Overlook!

I have snow for Rosetta!

Rosetta

This is perfect! Good job, sugar! Next comes a test about caring for more mature plants.

Sometimes older plants get cold at night. The best way to keep 'em warm is to pile Pine Needles over their roots.

Step 4

Rosetta

I want to see you gather up Pine Needles in the winter meadows. Fly to it, sweet beet!

What am I getting?

Rosetta

Gather Pine Needles. You'll find 'em in bunches over in the winter meadows!

I have Pine Needles for Rosetta!

Rosetta

Plant-astic, sugar! Your next test is about protecting plants while they're just teensy little seedlings.

Step 5

Rosetta

There are animals an' bugs out there that can hurt 'em. That's why my garden has a fence!

When my fence needs repair, Tink lends a wing. I keep lots of Twigs around for her to use, so let's see how many Twigs you can find!

What should I do?

Rosetta

Gather some Twigs. Try looking in the winter meadows!

I have Twigs for Rosetta!

Rosetta

My, you're doin' so well! Let's go to your very last test. As you may guess, the best part about growin' plants is harvesting the crop.

But you have to know when different fruits, veggies and flowers are ready for pluckin'! It's all a matter of color.

Step 6

Rosetta

I want you to go to all the dye shops in the Hollow an' find the dye that's the exact color of a ripe strawberry. Bring back one bottle!

What am I getting?

Rosetta

Put on your thinkin' cap, sugar, and bring me a bottle of dye that's the exact red of a ripe strawberry!

I have Strawberry Red Dye for Rosetta!

Rosetta

You did it, sugar! That's the correct shade of dye! You've passed all the tests!

Oh, it's gonna be such fun teachin' you Talent Skills! In fact, you've just earned your very first one -- GROW! Congratulations!

Rosetta

Now that you have your first Talent Skill, you're ready to explore Pixie Hollow's Wilderness areas.

Start by practicin' your new Grow skill in the Silver Trees! You can get there through Pumpkin Patch.

Remember to bring your friends when you go into the Wilderness, sugar. You'll have to work together to finish the challenges you'll find there!
