What's all the buzz? With the popularity of organic gardening, 'green
living', and growing concerns about environmental crisis and climate
change, this film is right on time. Chris Korrow's 'Garden Insects'
combines fascinating facts about insects with brilliant music and
close-up photography. The film's message: We are not as separate from nature as we might think.
Having taught gardening classes for over 14 years, Korrow reveals that
he was inspired to make this film when he realized how little the
majority of gardeners know about the subject of insects, and that many
have a strong desire to understand it better.
The film profiles insects in 12 categories: ants, aphids, bees & wasps,
true bugs, spiders, preying mantis, beetles, moths & butterflies,
flies, and grasshoppers offering practical information about insect
life cycles set amidst an artistic back drop of colorful flora and
fauna of the garden.
The documentary was filmed almost entirely on Korrow's farm!
