Educational!!!

This was an extremely educational film! Not at all what we expected, but very insightful in terms of looking behind the scenes when you decided to make land your garden!


At first I thought I would mention all the details and facts of this film in chronological order, but that would take away from the power of watching it.


The story of THE GARDEN reminds us to pay attention to the history of the land we chose and also to the people in our community, District and City Council that have pull and power over the way the land is used and steered. Mainly this film tells us just that - to pay attention.


It is really fun to be taking a little time everyday and every week to learn about the topic of gardening and the heart beat that comes with it!
