Inspirational

The stories and philosophy of nature and life in this piece are inspirational. For anyone living in a city, the Medicine Garden and the attitudes of the people who tend it, give hope to what is possible just beyond the concrete and cyclone fencing.
Nice ambiance, good 'visuals' and sticky information about plants, Native American beliefs and the history of Chicago.
