Once Upon a Time, I Was Obsessed with a Plant: a Contest
Here's what's up: a new movie based on Michael Pollan's best selling "The Botany of Desire" will be airing on PBS next month. For those who like to mark their calendars, it's Wednesday, October 28, from 8-10 p.m. Called an "eye-opening exploration of the human relationship with the plant world - seen from the plant's point of view," and narrated by Frances McDormand, this is sure to be good. For those who haven't read the book, the idea is that we think that we control the plant world. But what if, in fact, they have been shaping us?
We have a director-signed copy of the movie, so we are introducing a new contest giveaway playing with the theme of the book. To enter, send us your story of a time you were obsessed (or at least taken up with) with something in the plant kingdom – like, going to great lengths to protect your tomatoes from frost, watching and waiting for your seedlings to come up, praying for rain for your crops, or spending a summer growing flowers for your wedding. Anything. Submit your story by October 18, and we'll announce the winner of The Botany of Desire DVD in our next newsletter. Stories will be published on the LocalHarvest website.
