“A well-crafted, humanistic documentary that kept me thoroughly engaged!”

“A Lot in Common shows how people can get reconnected to each other in a
modern world that sometimes compartmentalizes us in our own separate worlds. The show touched us because it's not just about a community garden in Berkeley, it's about the human community everywhere.”
     Terence M. O'Driscoll, Station Manager, WNYE New York City


“...A wonderful tribute to the visionary landscape architect Karl Linn and the energetic, creative community gardeners in Berkeley...An exciting learning resource.”
     Ellen Kirby, President, American Community Gardening Association
