    A Garden's Way

Transcript

A garden can change the way you see the world. For the next six months, I will be taking you on a journey of one very special garden. Welcome to Pamela's garden. Along the way, we'll be joined by Pamela herself and Adam, the head gardener. I'm Alex and I'm a weaver and a gardener and together we'll explore what's blooming and what's growing in Pam's garden. This week, we've been planning, planting, and getting things established for the season ahead, including getting corn and brassicas into the ground. Now let me show you around. This place is magical. There's orchards, a native plant forest, a field where Lucky Lola and Zeus hang out, and then there's the garden itself. There's so many roses that are just about to bloom, and the rest is veggies, fruits, and flowers.
