Big Sale Ruth Stout's Garden
Ruth Stouts Garden is a lively film journey into the life of a woman who, from a perspective of more than ninety years, has a great deal to offer young and old.Filmed in her tenth decade, Ruth continued to write books, contribute to periodicals, lecture to garden clubs and receive thousands of visitors interested in her garden. Those who have read her books will be excited to see her famous no dig/no work' method of gardening in action. As she makes her way through the lush asparagus and rhubarb, Ruth expounds not only on the wonders of hay mulch, but on many other topics... from aging to child-rearing. Her free-thinking and unorthodox atudes shocked many of her generation, and today still a breath of fresh air for those who tired of seeing older people stereotyped as infirm and inflexible. Ruth says of herself that she was 'always out of order"-- doing things the way she wanted to and not the way other people (including gardening experts) said they should be done.Organic Gardening magazine had this to say about Ruth Stout's Garden: "Ruth Stout not only marches through life to a different drummer, it seems as if she dances through life to a completely different orchestra, and her partner is her wonderfully inspirational garden."The Gerontologist wrote: "A visual and verbal explanation of the no-dig/no-work process moves the viewer from contemplation of aging to gardening and to ecology. And somehow, appropriately, what emerges is the creation of an older woman.'Born in 1884, Ruth Stout marched with Carry Nation and worked for famine relief in Russia. She was independent and self-reliant in an age when the horizons for women were much more restricted than they today. More than most Ruth Stout has lived to realize that as one sows so does one reap.Ruth Stout's Garden has won numerous awards including the Cine Golden Eagle, The American Film Festival's Red Ribbon and the Columbus Film Festival's Chris Statuette.
