From The Ground Up

Backyard gardening has taken root again in America's cities. Tough Economic times and a renewed interest in simpler pleasures has created a boom in backyard food production. This trend is catching cities by surprise and the resulting change is being addressed by city councils all over the United States. From The Ground Up is a new documentary about this renewed American hobby. We were lucky enough to be able to produce stickers for the team making the film.

More About The Movie(from the movie's blog) From the Ground Up is a feature length documentary that delves into the lives of gardeners in three cities, weaving their stories together to showcase their individual struggles and common goals. We visit the San Francisco Civic Center Victory Garden, Nuestras Raices, a community gardening group in western MA, and a single mother of twin boys in Sacramento, CA who fights city hall to keep her front yard garden. The film allows these unique stories to be united through the narrative representation of a garden’s life cycle, paying close attention to the lives of some remarkable people who have succeeded at turning the old Victory Garden movement into a new and surprisingly successful reality.
