I’ve been inspired to create short videos around the topic of gardens and gardening. I’m calling these videos “The Growth from Growth” (thanks to a member of the Renaissance People Community for the name suggestion!) I’ve set a rule that they will all be less than 1 minute long and I’m using them to explore
