Thanks to a generous anonymous donor, the UVM Extension Community Horticulture Program offered an 8-week series of horticulture related films and speakers to Vermont Extension Master Gardeners, Master Composters and guests.

The films were selected to share a wide variety of viewpoints on horticulture, soil health, climate change, plant biodiversity, as well as beautiful cinematography of landscapes, gardens, and farms around the world.

Due to technical difficulties experienced earlier in the series, we will screen Episodes 2 & 3 of David Attenborough's Kingdom of Plants for a total of 2.5 hours at 6:30 pm on Friday, April 15 to allow for children and family members to attend.

The film will be followed by a 30-minute discussion open to anyone who would like to engage with fellow moviegoers to share thoughts and impressions of the film.

Please contact Cindy at cindy.heath@uvm.edu if you need disability-related accommodations to participate in the series.

Friday, April 15, 6:30 pm - Episodes 2 & 3 Kingdom of Plants with David Attenborough

Shot over the course of a year, David Attenborough explores the fascinating world of plants. A world where insects feed and breed, where flowers fluoresce and where plants communicate with each other and animals using scent and sound. He meets the extraordinary animals and fungi that have unbreakable ties with the plant world, from hawk moths and bats, to tiny poison dart frogs and he does all this in one unique place – The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London, UK. This film will not be available for viewing after the screening date.
