So fun to be gathered in the garden plaza, surrounded by the sweet smells of the plants sleeping, with Arizmendi pizza, wine in paper cups, watching food shorts on a small makeshift screen.
Best short was an eastern European film that I have yet to find on the web, hope to post here soon.
Check out some video clips on Edible Estates--a radical movement to rejuvenate suburbia and take over the iconic American lawn with beautiful veggie gardens. The video reawakened so many memories of my time working at a small organic garden located in a suburban cultisac of Tempe. So many amazing stories involving ex-cons, cigarettes, divorce, irate neighbors, compost and tragic greenhouse heaters. So much for preconceptions about the life of a backyard organic gardener. You'll have to ask me about the Iris stories sometime...
