Recreating Eden - 3x06 - The Giving Garden- Followmy.tv

At first, Lucinda Flemer’s dream to build a world renown public garden in the town of St. Andrews by-the-Sea, New Brunswick, was received with scepticism, but the result of her perseverance and passion cannot be underestimated: eight award-winning gardens spread over 27 acres of land. Named Kingsbrae Public Garden, the property was built by individuals from all walks of life including the young and the old, troubled teens, abused women, and people who’d never been able to hold down a steady job in their lives – these were the people who would dig, plant and tend to the first of the Kingsbrae gardens and many whose own lives in turn were changed. As a result the gardens continue to mean many things to the thousands of visitors, gardeners and community members who share the beauty of the gardens: as a refuge, a symbol of hope, and an opportunity to experience the many wonders of nature. All fulfilling the important Kingsbrae creed: “We don’t just grow plants. We grow people”.
