Ruby Jean’s Garden

The responsibility of restoration.


As Chris Goode puts the final touches on his children’s book about his grandmother Ruby Jean and her fictitious community garden, an unexpected opportunity arises to acquire a plot of land just down the street from where Ruby helped to raise him.

With the support of Philip Ramsey, a retired military veteran turned Master Gardener, Chris boldly begins the journey of restoring this land and all that it holds.

Creating a garden is one thing, but how will he handle the responsibilities that accompany reclamation?
