Why Not Grow a Garden  
Plant a peach tree, a potato, you name it – just get off the couch, go outside and grow food at your own house. You don’t even need a backyard!

Lyrics

Why not grow a garden
Instead of watching more TV
Why not plant some strawberries
Instead of…"aww mom there's one more show to see."

Why not plant a peach tree
And see who'll come and shake it
Why not grow an heirloom potato
And ask your dad to bake it

A falcon hunts small mice and things
And skunks are foragers
But when we're hungry, we go shopping
At a market that's indoors

Why not choose a tiny plot
NO need to go far
And you can plant the seeds you like
grow food in your backyard

And if your short on yard space
Don't worry you can have your fill
Buy some planters, dirt and seeds
Grow strawberries in your window sill

Anyone can be a gardener
with water, sun and dirt
A gardener can grow anything
on THIS great planet earth
