There's no denying it: the Gibb Street garden is a special place. It has tons to offer each of its gardeners who want to have a positive impact on nature. The garden is a space where newbie planters can try their hand at sprouting seeds or experienced gardeners can grow plants to their heart's desire. But watch out, because nature can be pretty delicate. And as some of the gardeners in Seedfolks find out, they have the power to grow plants and to destroy them.
Questions About Man and the Natural World
