==Plot==
[[Arthur Read|Arthur]] talks to the viewers about how much time and care you have to give a plant in order for it to grow. Then he scolds [[Buster Baxter|Buster]], who can't hold the camera still or focused on Arthur. Eventually, Arthur takes the camera and moves it himself, but Buster accidentally knocks it over again in the process of coming back. Then, afterwards, Buster bumps the camera going to get ice cream. Arthur apologizes to the viewers that his "director" (Buster) seems to be a bit distracted today, and then decides to start the show.

<center>'''Buster's Garden of Grief'''</center>
 
One day, Buster receives a letter from [[Fritz Langley|Fritz]], and he goes to the [[Shady Pines Retirement Home]] to visit him. When Buster sees Fritz, he asks him what happened to his leg. Fritz then explains that Buster is the only person he knows who could be responsible enough to take care of the [[Community Garden]].


Arthur, [[Francine Frensky|Francine]], and [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] had assumed that Buster was taking care of it already, but he informs them that he was only helping, and nobody else seemed to enjoy gardening as much as he does, so Fritz put him in charge of the Community Garden. Arthur, Francine, and Muffy seem a bit unsure about Buster being given the responsibility that comes with tending to a garden.

This leads Buster to have a fantasy where he is seen pulling the weeds in the Community Garden, but gets distracted by the ice cream truck going by. After eating six ice pops, he has to hurry to pull the weeds and vines away from the plants. The fruit on the plants begin to scold Buster for not being as responsible as Fritz. Buster soon wakes up from his fantasy while in bed that night.
One day, Buster receives a letter from someone and goes to the retirement home to visit Fritz and asks him what happened to his leg. He explains that Buster is the only person he knows who could be responsible enough to take care of the Community Garden. Arthur and Muffy assumed he's been taking care of it already, but Buster informs them that he was only helping, and nobody else seems to enjoy gardening so he was put in charge.


Early the next morning, Buster tries to figure out how he can tell Fritz that he can't take care of the garden out of fear that he may not be responsible enough. Suddenly hearing some noise, Buster rushes back to the Community Garden to see that [[Mr. Sloan]] is cutting zucchini plants with his electric trimmers. He tells Buster about how others in the neighborhood are discussing how they could turn the Community Garden into a paved area, due to the garden possibly becoming an "eyesore" now that Fritz won't be working there. Buster, not going to let this happen, informs Fritz.
The three seem a bit unsure, when Buster begins to worry about the responsibility that comes with tending to a garden. Leading him to imagine himself ignoring the weeds in order to eat a lot of Ice Cream. Making him have to hurry and pull the weeds and vines away from the plants. They begin to scold, yell, and vanish and Buster soon snaps out of it while in bed.


After telling Arthur about the scenario, Buster gathers materials for the Community Garden, while Muffy and Francine simply make bets as to when Buster will fail this challenge during baseball practice.

Buster, not going to let this happen then leaves and prepares while Muffy and Francine simply make bets as to when Buster will fail this challenge during baseball practice.


Over the course of time, Buster tends to the vegetables, flowers, and plants in the Community Garden, while also doing his homework and house chores. His mom [[Bitzi Baxter|Bitzi]] notices how tired he seems to be getting lately, but Buster keeps up anyway, eventually showing Fritz how well he has been doing with the garden. Meanwhile, Muffy and Francine keep changing their bets, noticing Buster is still gardening, and eventually the garden springs to life.
And so, over the course of time Buster tends to the vegetables, flowers, and plants, while also doing his homework and house chores. Bitzi notices how tired he seems to be getting lately, but Buster keeps up anyway, eventually showing Fritz how well he's been doing.


Bitzi eventually begins to discuss how proud she is of Buster, and then she tells him to pick out some clothing he wants to take on vacation. Buster seems worried, but Bitzi reminds him that they were going to go camping. Buster then asks his mom about the Community Garden, and Bitzi suggests that someone else can water it for a couple of weeks.
Muffy and Francine keep changing their bets, noticing Buster is still gardening and eventually the area just springs to life! Bitzi eventually begins to discuss how proud she is of Buster, then tells him to pick out some clothing he wishes to take on Vacation and reminds him that they were going to go camping. Buster seems worried, but Bitzi suggest that someone else can water it for a week. And so, he goes to Arthur, Muffy, and Francine, but they do not want to do it until Buster promises he will do what they asked of him.


Buster goes to Arthur, Francine, and Muffy for help, but they don't want to do it until Buster promises he will do what they asked of him. They agree to do it, making Buster feel happy.
After two weeks, Buster returns to see all of the plants dead. He confronts his friends, but they deny it until they admit that they all put the responsibility on each other and Buster just asks them if anybody watered it, at all, and they all say no...


However, after two weeks, a very sad and shocked Buster returns to see all of the plants in the garden dead. Bitzi is just as surprised, saying, "Well, I'll be. It was only two weeks!"
That night, Buster is lying in bed playing his game. Bitzi talks to Buster and he does not wish to do his homework anymore. Convinced that he's just irresponsible. Bitzi tells him that it wasn't Buster's fault for the Garden being ruined. But he won't listen and Buster rushes back to the Garden when he hears noise and worries that the Garden is being ruined! Suddenly showing up, he realizes that the others are there trying to fix the garden! They decided that since he decided to become responsible then they should have also and from then on they all help Buster with his Garden. While he responds to a letter sent to him from Fritz and the episode ends...
 
Buster then confronts his friends, asking them why all the plants in the Community Garden are dead, but they deny it, claiming that they did water it, until they admit that they all put the responsibility on each other. Buster then asks them if anybody watered it, ever, and it turns out that neither of them did. Buster then sighs and walks away, feeling very downbeat.
 
That night, Buster is lying in his bed playing his video game. Bitzi talks to Buster about why he used to be so good about doing his homework before, but he isn't anymore. Buster feels convinced that he's irresponsible, but Bitzi tells him that it wasn't his fault for the garden being ruined. Regardless, Buster still feels bad about the scenario. Suddenly, he hears noise coming from the garden and figures that Mr. Sloan is probably mowing it all down now that it's become an eyesore.
 
Buster worries that the garden is being ruined, and he rushes over to stop Mr. Sloan from mowing it all down, begging for a another chance. However, when he shows up, he realizes that it's not Mr. Sloan mowing it down; it's [[David Read|Mr. Read]]. Seeing that the others are also there fixing the garden, Buster is surprised. They explain that since Buster chose to become responsible, they should also be responsible. From then on, they all help Buster with the Community Garden.
 
The episode finishes with Buster responding to a letter from Fritz that he had gotten from him.
