Watch out for my plant

A young inner-city boy struggles to grow a plant in a tiny patch of dirt. We see his determination, a special relationship with an older man and the flowering and destruction of the plant. Shows that everyone can do something about his environment, given initiative, responsibility and perseverance. Suitable for middle and upper primary levels.
