The „Queer Gardening“ documentary features 24 LGBTQIA2E* gardeners. During each interview we usually talked for hours about queer ecologies. In the final documentary I edited the interviews down to 2-4 minutes each to show the diversity.
We are publishing now 3 of the interviews in their long versions for free. So you can get to know the gardeners in depth and learn more about queer ecologies and de-colonial gardening.

Queer Gardening
Queer Gardening is a documentary about queer-feminist ecologies in North America released in 2022 by filmmaker Ella von der Haide.
In this film, 24 LGBTQIA2* gardeners show their gardens and explain how their queerness affects the design of the spaces. They also speak about how they are queering ecology, as well as the natural-cultural relationship. Ella von der Haide has been visiting community gardens in North America for several years with her camera. It is the 6th film in her documentary series Another world is plantable! about community gardens, and their social-ecological activism worldwide.
