Press & Updates
Cultivating Place: The Power of Gardeners is a feature-length documentary following ten cultivators whose purposeful relationships with plants and place deepen and expand our understanding of what gardening means.
Drawn from a decade of conversations on the public radio program Cultivating Place, the film reveals gardening not as ornament, but as a profound act of care — growing resilience in land, people, and culture alike.
Filming continues on Cultivating Place: The Power of Gardeners
September 2025 – Upcoming Filming in Cincinnati, OH & Sebastopol, CA
This September, production on Cultivating Place: The Power of Gardeners continues with two inspiring shoots:
Civic Garden Center of Greater Cincinnati — a historic hub for urban gardening, education, and community resilience.
Second Generation Seeds — a seed company rooted in tradition and cultural heritage, growing access, diversity, and food sovereignty for the future.
We are honored to spend time with these gardeners and organizations, whose work expands how we understand cultivation as an act of care, resilience, and connection.
