Naked Gardens

In the quiet corners of suburban backyards, a quiet revolution is taking root. This 2024 documentary peels back the layers of manicured lawns to explore the burgeoning movement of natural, chemical-free gardening. The film immerses us in the rich, buzzing ecosystems of these intentional spaces, where dandelions are welcomed and soil health is paramount. Through intimate observations, it contrasts the sterile perfection of traditional landscaping with the vibrant, chaotic life of a garden left to its own devices. More than a horticultural guide, it’s a poignant reflection on our relationship with control, nature, and the very ground beneath our feet.
