ABOUT THE BOOK It's time for spring planting, but where is Farmer Green? And how will the garden grow? When Farmer Green is injured during spring planting season and cannot sow his seeds, Burton the Scarecrow and his nearby bird and animal friends find a heartwarming solution to the farmer's impending problem. Banding together to get the job done, the hardworking little crew plants and tends a beautiful garden to benefit Farmer Green and his family at harvest time.
