Planting Garden Platoons

25 people in a neighbourhood, could really
Impact the area for good' if ten 
Committed gardeners keen; could, gave advice to
Others, say a minimum of fifteen?  All within
A half-mile square.  Gardens on a minimum
Also fifty feet square! To plant some fruit trees
And beds of veg? Rows of corn beside the
Shed to allow a beekeeper, for pollination
It would feed that group; could inspire a 
Nation? On large village greens, would what be sown? I can
See  possibilities
Almost endless on the growing  I say a healthy initiative what say 
You?
Could it be aided? Would the government help too?
That might mend
Some fences? and cause cohesion
With some in politics who aren’t just like a
Damaging lesion.'
