A pleasant meditation on how nature can transform a city. Inspirational, too: imagine if each city became a garden.

This is very nice. I will need to look into doing that in my town.

Instructive, well-paced, nice to look at, and a charming child as our host and guide.

Awesome! I want to see more! What about the cars whizzing by? Close-ups of the perennials throughout the season, as they change. Liked how you worked in the city law, would like to know the exact language. Shots of people interacting with the garden or walking by would add a lot too. When will the longer video be released?

Liked the slides with Victorian font. Looking forward to your coming documentary about these roadside attractions. "Growing not mowing" is better on the environment too (than traditional grass lawns.) The feel of your preview is beautiful & lush, hope to sense that in your "coming soon" version(s).

P.S. Maybe you could find out when the ordinance allowing extension gardens actually began. Wonder if many cities other than Ann Arbor have these roadside attractions. Keep up the good work!
