Gardening for the Planet - Trailer

Gardening for the Planet shows why biodiversity is central to the quality of our lives and to humans’ ultimate survival and demonstrates how the use of native plants in our home and community gardens can help to mitigate the effects of climate change. We will see how these plants have formed symbiotic relationships with native wildlife over millions of years, creating the most productive and sustainable wildlife habitat. The film will demonstrate the ways in which these relationships are mutually beneficial to each other, to their habitats, and to the humans that share these habitats. Some scenes, for example, will feature examples of the desecration of native insect and animal ecosystems by urban development and climate change, while other scenes will offer solutions to this desecration with the planting of non-turf ground covers. By the end of the film, viewers will understand how each of us can regenerate biodiversity and ecosystem function by tearing out our lawns and planting keystone, or native, indigenous plants in our yards.
