When you have a vision, to make it come true, you need to share the vision with others.
When the vision is to create a world-class botanical garden, the best way to share the vision is to take others to explore and experience a ‘virtual garden’ in order to ‘see’ the amazing possibilities.
The ‘Plant a Seed’ video started with lunch between a master gardener and a video producer. In years past, they had worked together to create gardening videos for a national garden products company. The master gardener shared a vision for a world-class botanical garden at the Great Park. The video producer, who had recently moved to Irvine, wanted to help.
The ‘Plant a Seed’ video project was born.
How to make a professional video with very little money? Share the vision with key professionals, and twist arms of family and friends! Soon a team of filmmakers, sound technicians, a local public garden, a nursery, a web design company, and family and friends volunteered to participate in front of and behind the cameras.
Over the course of two days and three free filming locations, we had a blast with adorable children and their parents, an artist, a musician, yoga buddies, Master Gardeners, horticulture experts, and a great looking runner who happens to be my son.
We invite you to experience the possibilities and beauty of the future Great Park Botanical Garden by viewing ‘Plant a Seed’, created by Jarfish.
Please join us and ‘plant a seed’ to create the Garden by joining the Great Park Garden Coalition.
Best,
Teena Spindler
