Cottage Creek Garden

Theo — Kids Tee

$22.00

The littlest gardener. The biggest heart.

Some of the best gardeners are the ones still learning where the weeds end and the flowers begin.

Here's Theo — backwards red cap, overalls, boots planted in the soft forest light — standing right in the middle of his own little world. The circular frame catches him mid-afternoon, the willow and the woodland glowing gold behind him, the way a good memory does. He's the littlest gardener in the Cottage Creek Garden family, the one from Theo Waters the Weeds, and his whole story is a gentle one: mistakes aren't ruin, they're just how gardens — and kids — grow. You don't need the words on the shirt. You can see it in how settled he looks, right where he is.

It's built for the kind of day Theo would approve of: dirt, discovery, and a snack somewhere in the middle. Midweight 100% cotton holds those warm woodland tones and softens with every wash. No side seams to twist, a ribbed collar and shoulder taping to keep its shape, and a tear-away label so there's nothing scratching at the back of the neck — just a shirt that's easy to live in.

The kind of tee a kid picks first, every time. Collect his friends and the whole garden comes along.
