Synopsis
Rabbit is mad at the weeds in his garden, when Eeyore shows up and scares him. Plants have a lot to say if you take the time to listen, the gloomy donkey says. Rabbit is trying to get a seed to grow, but he can't and Eeyore offers to give it a try. Rabbit lets Eeyore have the seed, and plants it near his house. Eeyore talks to the seed, thinking it's shy. The others want to help him. Eeyore tucks the seed in at night and sings to it. Rock-a-bye baby... Good night, little fella. The gang put Piglet there, disguises as a flower. Eeyore is happy with his new friend as he waters Piglet. Rabbit is shocked that Eeyore got the seen to grown in one night. Rabbit to he dismay thinks Eeyore is a better gardener than Eeyore and he gives Eeyore his garden- his garden deserves the very best gardener. Pooh and Tigger go to meet Piglet. Eeyore is wondering what to do first- water the weeds or feed the bugs. Rabbit is in Eeyore's house. Course, it'll probably rain, he says. Pooh and Piglet go to find Piglet. Rabbit is depressed because nobody bothered to tell him. Piglet goes to tell Pooh and Tigger that it's not working. Eeyore is upset because he thinks his plant is part tumbleweed. He goes to gloomy Rabbit for help. Piglet heard Eeyore calling for the plant. Piglet takes off the costume. Eeyore finds it and thinks his plant has withered away for nothing, but Rabbit is suspicious. They go to Eeyore to apologize. However the seed has grown into a little green plant and Eeyore sings to him a fuzzy yellow flower blooms.

Production notes
Welcome to Pooh Corner...
Winnie the Pooh, prized playmate of human boy Christopher Robin, has also become one of the most beloved honey-eating, life-pondering cartoon bears of all time. Pooh lived in the Hundred Acre Woods along with Christopher Robin's other stuffed animals, who all had lives of their own with or without the boy.
Pooh's best friend was little Piglet, who was the worrier and the conscience of the two. They would often head over to the overly chatty Rabbit's for tea, usually with disastrous results (e.g. - Pooh got stuck in Rabbit's narrow doorway and had to sleep there overnight until the gang could push him out. Silly old bear...)
Wise old Owl and motherly Kanga were the mature ones of the group, while rambunctious little Roo and bouncy Tigger were clearly the more hyperactive members. The lisping Gopher was the sarcastic one, while Eeyore, a donkey who was constantly losing his tail, was easily the most depressed.
Pooh and company started off as characters in a series of 1920's children's books by British author A.A. Milne. In the mid-sixties, Walt Disney created a series of theatrical featurettes featuring the Milne creations (later packaged into the feature The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh), and by 1970, the Pooh crew had a series of primetime TV specials. It wasn't until 1983 that the animals got their own series, with the characters played by actors in costumes on the Disney Channel's Welcome to Pooh Corner.
In 1988, the gang returned to cartoon format in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. After a year, the show was combined with Gummi Bears, then continued for three more years of new episodes (the last two as a stand-alone program... again!). This new Pooh made a few changes (most notably, Christopher Robin now spoke with an American accent), but the sweet-natured spirit of Milne's original remained intact. A hit with young Pooh fans, the show was also appreciated by older viewers, who rewarded The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh with two Emmy Awards for Best Children's Program.
The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh left the air after the 1992-93 season, but the show returned later in the decade as part of Disney's One Saturday Morning lineup.
