Here is the first of many video podcasts. This is John Bela of San Francisco Victory Gardens +08 talking about the Civic Center garden, let me know what you think.
From the Ground Up is a feature length documentary that delves into the lives of gardeners in three cities, weaving their stories together to showcase their individual struggles and common goals. We visit the San Francisco Civic Center Victory Garden, Nuestras Raices, a community gardening group in western MA, and a single mother of twin boys in Sacramento, CA who fights city hall to keep her front yard garden. The film allows these unique stories to be united through the narrative representation of a garden’s life cycle, paying close attention to the lives of some remarkable people who have succeeded at turning the old Victory Garden movement into a new and surprisingly successful reality.
