In Episode 4716 of Sesame Street, the central theme revolves around the joy of growing plants and the importance of patience. The episode starts with Big Bird, Rosita, and Abby excitedly showing Alan their garden, where each of them has grown a plant. Big Bird has a sunflower, Rosita has a tomato plant, and Abby has an "apri-peach-pump," a hybrid created with her mother's help. Elmo, however, is less enthusiastic because his apple tree, named "Planty," has barely started to sprout despite his special care.
Alan reassures Elmo that Planty will grow in time. Elmo spots a sunny spot in front of Hooper's Store and moves Planty there, hoping it will grow faster. He sings a song about taking care of plants and the happiness Planty will bring when it's fully grown and full of apples to share ("Elmo's Plant Song"). When there are no immediate results, Elmo becomes sad. Abby, overhearing the situation, decides to help by casting a growth spell on Planty. Initially, nothing seems to happen, but soon Planty grows into a large apple tree that takes over most of Hooper's Store.
Elmo is thrilled that Planty has grown big and strong, believing it's due to his expert care. He tells everyone about the apples they can now enjoy, and Hooper's Store becomes crowded with customers ordering apple pies. However, Elmo soon learns that Abby's magic, not his care, caused Planty to grow so quickly. He initially feels disappointed but ultimately decides he prefers growing a plant on his own. Abby restores Planty to its original size, pleasing both Elmo and Alan. They return Planty to the garden, where it has plenty of room to grow.
Abby Cadabby leads the gang in a song to introduce the letter of the day, G.
