The Prophet Said to Plant A Garden

One of my fav Primary songs is "The Prophet Said to Plant A Garden" - which I taught in Primary this year. It goes along with the Food Storage goal I have for myself this year. These are the words to this Primary Song:

“The Prophet Said to Plant a Garden,” Children’s Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 237

Joyfully

1. The prophet said to plant a garden, so that’s what we’ll do.
For God has given rich brown soil, the rain and sunshine too.
And if we plant the seeds just right and tend them carefully,
Before we know, good things will grow to feed our family.

2. We’ll plant the seeds to fill our needs, then plant a few to spare,
And show we love our neighbors with the harvest that we share.
Oh, won’t you plant a garden, too, and share the many joys
A garden brings in health and love to happy girls and boys!
