Imagine a quirky and whimsical garden, much like Winsor McCay's dreamlike settings in Little Nemo in Slumberland, bursting with vibrant colors and fantastical elements. The garden is laid out like a rugby pitch with two makeshift goalposts made of garden hoes and rakes. The grass is impeccably green, as if manicured by the most meticulous gardener, and dotted with wildflowers in shades of red, blue, and yellow.

In the center, a comically oversized rugby ball, painted with stripes resembling a watermelon, sits on a patch of bright marigolds. The ball looks slightly deflated, with cartoonishly exaggerated wrinkles. To the left, an enthusiastic carrot, sporting a tiny rugby jersey and helmet, is poised to tackle a row of lettuce heads aligned like a rugby scrum.

Nearby, a pumpkin referee, complete with a whistle hanging from a vine around its stem, raises a leafy hand to signal a time-out. On the right, a team of sunflowers, each with different expressions, are high-fiving and celebrating a score, their long green stems twisted into victory poses.

In the background, towering sunflowers with faces like characters from a R. Crumb comic cheer from the sidelines. They hold banners made from old garden tools and patches of stitched-together leaves that say, "Happy Birthday!" and "You’re a Champion!"

Above this delightful chaos, a gnome dressed as a rugby coach—complete with a little clipboard and a whistle—stands on a raised garden bed, giving instructions to his "team" of animated vegetables and flowers. He looks determined, with a furrowed brow and a pointy hat slightly askew, as he waves a tiny, carrot-shaped pen around.

To the far side, reminiscent of Gary Larson's humor in The Far Side, a confused squirrel in a referee uniform stands next to a wheelbarrow filled with seed packets labeled "Extra Strength Power Food" and "Mystery Fertilizer," looking bewildered at the scene.

The sky above is clear blue with a few fluffy clouds shaped like rugby players in action, giving the scene an open, airy feel, almost like an open-air stadium.

The entire illustration is filled with intricate details, vibrant colors, and lively characters, blending the worlds of rugby and gardening into a humorous and captivating birthday scene.
