A Community of Gardeners is a one-hour documentary that shows how seven community gardens in Washington, D.C. are transforming people’s lives, their communities and their environment. The film also traces the history of community gardens, from the potato patch farms of the late 19th century, to the victory gardens of World War II, to community gardening’s current renaissance. A Community of Gardeners has been airing on PBS stations nationwide. Learn how you can purchase the DVD.
