			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last July I did a <a href="http://www.soenyun.com/Blog/2008/07/28/a-man-named-pearl/">post on the documentary</a> <em>A Man Named Pearl</em>, and at point asked a question about what films there were about gardening. Leslie made the recommendation of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203540/" target="_blank"><em>Greenfingers</em></a>, a Y2K British production starring Clive Owen and Helen Mirrin. Based loosely on a true story, it told of incarcerated gardeners in England that had a rehabilitation program involving gardening. In real life the prisoners eventually went on to design award winning garden exhibits at the Hampton Court and Chelsea Flower Shows.</p>

I won’t give away the end any more than I have–It’s based only <em>loosely</em> on the facts I’ve mentioned above. But if you haven’t seen it already it’s definitely a worthy movie rental–Warm, funny and romantic, it’s a great film for these long winter nights.</p>
<p>Now if only the film didn’t use so many plastic plants, including a red hibiscus that features prominently in the plot. We’re gardeners, people! We can tell!</p>
