A Garden for All/Band of Explorers
elinor wonders why

Elinor gives Hazel some strawberry seeds to grow at home, but the only problem is that Hazel lives in an apartment building and doesn't have a backyard to make a garden in. That doesn't stop the kids from trying! Knowing they need the three S's (seeds, sun and soil) to grow plants, they gather what they need and discover that Hazel's balcony makes the perfect spot to grow strawberries. You really can make a garden anywhere! Elinor and the Exploring Club decide to go on a musical exploring march in the forest with all their instruments so they can play a loud song for all the animals and creatures to hear. But, while they march and play, they realize one thing is missing during their walk - the animals and creatures! The club discovers that their loud music is keeping the ani-mals and creatures away, so they decide to keep quiet and enjoy the sounds of nature.
