Plot
At Enchancia Castle,Sofia is plowing a garden for Clover to have all the snacks he wants. Sofia then plants the seeds of the things Clover wants in his garden, to the rabbit's joy. Clover thanks Sofia for giving him his own garden to which she tells him it's a great way to celebrate the Festival of Plenty. When Clover asks where his veggies are, Sofia reminds him that gardens take weeks to grow. Suddenly, Sofia sees Amber and James coming with a tiara that Sofia indentifies as the Crown of Blossoms. When Clover asks what it is, Sofia tells him that the Crown of Blossoms is the reason the kingdom has the Festival of Plenty in the first place: The Princess of Plenty wears it for the opening ceremony and that being the Princess of Plenty is a big honor that has always gone to Amber because the Crown of Plenty isn't just pretty, it magical. When Amber and James arrive, they tell Sofia that their father has decided to make Sofia the Princess of Plenty this year and that Amber is going to coach her through this big responsibility since she loves to tell people what to do. After the Royal Twins put the Crown on her head and leave, Clover congratulates Sofia and asks her about the Crown's story. Sofia tells him that King Gideon's wife found the Crown of Blossoms in a far-off kingdom years ago just lying in a big strawberry patch with nobody knowing who made it and that when she planted a seed pulled from the Crown all the crops in Enchancia grew better, faster, and more delicious. Because of this, every year during the Festival of Plenty the Princess of Plenty plants a seed in the ground to caause the same effect and All Enchancia then has a big party. Amazed, Clover asks Sofia if he could have one of the Crown's seeds to plant in the garden but Sofia refuses since the seeds aren't hers to give and leaves to prepare for the Festival. As she leaves, three seeds fall off the Crown of Blossoms and lands in Clover's paws. Clover calls for Sofia to give them back but changes his mind at the last second. Whatnaught tries to get Clover to give them back but the rabbit's greed makes him decide to plant all three of them instead and grow all the vegetables in his garden faster than normal. The magically grown vegetables are so delisious that Whatnaught and especially Clover quickly get addicted.

Suddenly, two gnomes named Fig and Malacite appear through a hole in the tree. They were drawn by the magic pollen that Clover's magically drawn vegetables are giving off. They realize the garden was grown by a seed from the lost Crown of the Gnomes that they came to retrieve. When they see Clover, they decide to have Clover lead them to the Crown so they can retrieve it. Meanwhile, Amber is helping Sofia get ready to be the Princess of Plrnty mostly by harshly blowing her coach whistle in Sofia's face since she already has pretty much everything down. During the prepartions, Sofia sees a symbol on the Crown of Blossoms and asks Amber what it means. Amber tells her she doesn't know and tells Sofia to focus on getting ready for the Festival with another harsh whistle blast. Meanwhile, Clover's addiction to his magically grown vegetables has strengthened his greed to point point where he nastily refuses to share his veggies with Whatnaught, Robin, and Mia which drives the three of them away. Suddenly, Malacite and Fig walk up to Clover and ask him if he has any magic sseds, which he denys. Malacite tells him that's too bad as the vegetables he just harvested will soon be gone and they can use a magic seed to make his garden one that gives a never-ending supply of vegetables like they did when they enchanted the Hanging Gardens of Galdiz and the Tangu Tomato Terrences if he could give them one and the greedy rabbit agrees. He tells them he knows where to get a magical seed and leads them there. Meanwhile, Amber and Sofia are in Sofia's room finishing up Sofia's preparations for the Festival. Sofia has changed into her Festival gown only for Amber to say she has it on backwards. Meanwhile, Clover leads Malacite and Fig to Sofia's room where the gnomes find the Crown of Blossoms and take it. Clover realizes he was tricked and tries to stop them. The commotion attracts the attention of Amber. Hearing her coming, Clover and the gnomes quickly hide. When Amber comes out of Sofia's closet and sees nothing, she assumes it was nothing and go back in to check on Sofia. Once she's gone, the gnomes come back out. Clover tries to stop them from leaving with the Crown but they throw a towel over him and escape with the Crown. Meanwhile, Sofia finishes putting her outfit on correctly and goes to get the Crown of Blossoms. Once she exits her closet, Sofia frees Clover and finds the Crown gone. Sofia asks Clover if he's seen it which makes Clover nervous to the point of speechlessness. Amber comes out and inquires about the Crown only for Sofia to tell her it's gone. Amber freaks out about the theift of the Crown and how this will affect the Festival until Sofia calms her down with a harsh blow of her coach whistle. Sofia sends Amber to stall the festivities until she gets the Crown back and, suspicious about his earlier behavior, confronts Clover and asks him if he knows anything about this.

Clover takes Sofia to his garden. Sofia is shcoked by the sight of so many vegetables which she voices by stating "How did your garden grow so many veggies so fast?! It's almost like...magic!" Atthe word "magic", Sofia realies that Clover used one of the Crowns seeds to do this and that he does indeed know what happened to the Crown of Blossoms which Clover admits to along with the fact he in fact used three of the Crown's seeds. Clover tells Sofia about the gnomes and how they took the Crown. Clover apologizes to Sofia for letting her down only for Sofia to tell him he let everyone down. Meanwhile, the gnomes are making hteir way through the castle. Rex finds them but Malacite and Fig scare him away. Elsewhere, Sofia aks Robin and Mia if they have seen the gnomes to which they tell her they haven't seen anything since a certain rude bunny wouldn't share his garden veggies with them. Sofia tells them and Whatnaught to find the gnomes. Clover offers to help too but Sofia angrily tells him "No, thnaks. You've helped enough." Meanwhile, Amber and James are trying to keep the Festival going but only succed in laying eggs that leave the crowd including their parents dying of boredom especially when James starts telling bad jokes who's punchlines are criminally bad puns.

Elsewhere, Sofia and her animal friends are still searching for the gnomes. Clover comes up with all the vegetables he still has left from his garden and offers to us them to help get the Crown back. Clover's plan works and Sofia is able to get the Crown back. The gnomes tell Sofia that the reason they took it is because the Crown belongs to them: The Crown of Blossoms is really the Crown of the Gnomes and Sofia's great-grandmother took it from them by mistake. When she sees the same symbol she saw on the Crown on the Gnomes' hats she realizes that they are telling the truth and offers a deal: At the Festival, Sofia tells everyone everything and that the deal is that the gnomes get the Crown back and bring it for the Festival of Plenty. Malacite and Figs place the Crown on Sofia's head and she plants one of it's seeds making the Festival a success.
