Gardening for nature also sustains me.
I wrote and narrated that line for the ending of WILD in the Garden State, my documentary about transforming a typical suburban lawn into a native plant habitat. But the line deserves its own documentary… or at least a blog post.

Witnessing the moment a chickadee lands on a shrub to pluck a fat-filled berry is a bit beyond words.
