In "Growing Wild
Together" we return to the nearly 30-year-old food forest growing on the
edge of a small town in the very south of Aotearoa New Zealand. The forest,
previously an abandoned section filled with rubbish and burnt house remains,
was the subject of our 2016 film An Invitation for Wildness. Now we’ve returned
to find out what has changed in the forest and for the people who live there.
Robyn and Robert’s forest
garden is home to countless forms of life, from trees and plants to birds,
fish, and insects, and of course the humans who live amongst it all, in
harmony. With time it grows wilder and wilder, “Like me,” says Robert. Since we
first visited, the couple have also developed new projects, one of them
reviving an old trade route, to help create food resilience for the nearby
rural communities.
In the film, Robert says
he’s convinced that the food forest model will be one of the most important
models for creating a resilient future on Earth. He maintains we must learn to
be loved by the forest. Here is a film to inspire love for our forests and
everything they generously gift us!
