"A Community of Gardeners," a one-hour documentary currently in production, focuses on the people who grow vegetables, fruits and flowers at seven unique community gardens in Washington, D.C. Through the voices of young people, senior citizens, immigrants, garden volunteers and educators, the documentary explores the vital role of urban community gardens, not only as sources of fresh, nutritious food, but as outdoor classrooms, places of healing, centers of social interaction, and oases of beauty and calm in inner-city neighborhoods. "A Community of Gardeners" also looks back on the history of community gardens in the United States. Please visit the Educational & Documentary page to view the trailer.
