I am very excited to present the following documentaries as an educational resource for all of our visitors and encourage you to watch each and every one under the Lets Talk Food, Water, Planet us category.

In addition to the documentaries I encourage you to spend some thoughtful time on

http://www.organicconsumers.org/

You will see the hard work and dedication that is going into making a difference. I encourage you to bookmark this site and read it with your children, family and friends.

Our adaptive horticulture selections reflect special needs populations that I have enjoyed working with over the years.  The documentaries, largely food and think,  have validated every extra moment I have taken to grown, preserve and care for my own edibles. 

Many of us have family members who have special needs be it Alzheimers, autism, depression, obesity, or any particular hardship.  Please invite these folks to watch the presentations with you. Together, hand and hand, we make big differences.

Please share your recommended documentaries / movies and reviews of the ones I have listed on this site by sending an email to  btg@gardensofcalifornia.com.  All listed movies / documentaries are avavilable through Netflix or your PBS stations. You may access the Alzheimers link diectly from this page.  

Also, please note, all selections are made based on content interest, not  political interest or statement and are not rated but reviewed.

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE is a wonderful place to start.
