Samantha has long had a love for gardening, and it's evident in her lush and beautiful yard. She's been growing all sorts of exotic flowers, plants, and other vegetation with her magical powers, and has always taken great pride in showing off her green thumb to anyone who comes to visit. However, she is frustrated with her green grass and it's starting to dull and she can't seem to figure out why.
Her cousin Serena, who loves to stir up trouble, comes over to visit and notices Samantha's brown grass. Being the mischievous relative she is, Serena decides to cast a spell on the lawn to see what will happen. To Samantha's horror, the grass suddenly turns bright green and starts to grow out of control! Samantha is devastated and doesn't know what to do, as she's never dealt with this kind of problem before.
To make matters worse, Samantha's neighbor Darrin is in a competition with his work colleague, Larry, to have the best lawn on the block. Darrin has been working tirelessly on his lawn, planting new grass and mowing it regularly, and is convinced that he'll win the top prize. However, when Larry comes over and sees Samantha's gorgeous lawn, he's surprised and impressed, and tells Darrin that he thinks Samantha's lawn is even better than his.
This revelation makes Darrin incredibly jealous, and he asks Samantha if she can help him get his lawn looking just as good as hers. Samantha agrees, but soon realizes that without her magical powers, she's just as clueless about lawn care as the average person. They start to experiment with different fertilizers, chemicals, and equipment, but nothing seems to work.
Meanwhile, Serena is having a lot of fun with her spell and decides to make the grass grow even faster. Before she knows it, the grass is so tall that it's starting to block out the sun and make it hard for anyone to walk on it. Samantha is beyond exasperated, and she's worried that her grass may never look the same again.
Luckily, Samantha's father Maurice, who is a powerful witch, comes over to visit and sees what's been happening with the lawn. He helps to put a stop to Serena's spell and gives Samantha some valuable tips on how to care for the lawn naturally. With her father's help, Samantha is able to nurse her lawn back to health, and it starts to look even more beautiful than before.
In the end, Darrin and Larry's lawn competition is judged, and it turns out that Samantha's lawn wins first prize! Darrin is happy for her, and even more relieved that he doesn't have to worry about keeping up with Larry anymore. Samantha is grateful to have learned so much about lawn care and vows to never take her magical abilities for granted again. And as for Serena... well, let's just say she doesn't get invited over for a while!
