Susan was beginning to feel a bit hesitant about going out into the garden.  Something was happening that wasn't quite right.  But her desperately ill older brother took comfort in the garden and it was Susan's job to take him for walks in the sun.  But this garden was changing.  There were flowers growing that should never grow in this part of the world.  And the paths seem to shift from where they normally went.  Susan and Gary came to realize that this had something to do with their great uncle who was a quantum physicist.  And this  was a quantum garden.  Don't know what that is?  Come on in to find out.  Things are just not what they seem to be.
