Film Story:

As a rare green space in southwest Philadelphia, Unity Garden engages community members of all ages to participate in maintaining its beauty. While older Garden Club members praise the opportunity to work alongside younger generations of residents, the youth gardeners emphasize a sense of safety and the warm respect given by their elders. “The Garden of Unity” weaves those testimonies in with the reflections of the garden’s founder, planner, and caretakers to illuminate a short, but compassionate history.”
