When Mrs. Church is no longer able to care for her beautiful garden, it grows wild and out of control. Little bushes become big bushes. Big bushes become monsters with thorns. Neighbors hurry on by, not stopping to smell the flowers or watch Sparky, the frog sunning on his rock. Young JR decides to take matters into her own hands and, with the help of neighbors, restores Mrs. Church's Garden back to the beautiful jungle they all enjoy.

A lovely lesson in how a caring community can enhance the world we all live in.
