While Mr. Noah is busy building his ark, Mrs. Noah has a sudden thought—what about her vegetable garden? And the fruit trees? And everything she has spent years sowing, growing, and tending? They'll get washed away when the rain comes! So while the animal ark venture goes ahead, Mrs. Noah begins collecting seeds, taking cuttings, and eventually loading the ark with her own produce. The result is a splendid garden ark which not only gives everyone onboard plenty to eat, but once the rain has subsided, gives Mrs. Noah a head start in helping the world grow green and new.
