A red-handled tool you have never seen, pressed into the grass by an ordinary trainer. It is clearly doing a garden job, but you cannot name it. That itch is the click. The title's future framing widens the question instead of answering it.
Title
The title frames the mystery as the future of gardening.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail shows the strange tool in action underfoot, left unexplained.
Use this when your video features a tool or method nobody knows. Show it mid-use, close enough to pull the eye but never labelled. The viewer clicks to find out what it is.

Turn the lesson into a decision
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
