‘The Secret Garden’

‘The Secret Garden’ in the movie of the same name is a garden which has to be unlocked to find what is behind, being planted and cared for so to sprout and grow, and become a beautiful growing garden. A garden which I did not actually know was being grown is at University or is, in other words, SCA’s secret garden.

‘Little Shop of Horrors’ is a movie, as well as a musical, which features a little plant which brings large groups of people together who would not have normally come together. They interact and certain characters are able to grow through the ways which they learn to grow and change from their life without the plant to their life with it.

Lucas Ihlein and Diego Bonetto’s garden or ‘secret garden,’ as I have decided to call it as I know I am not the only one who did not actually know of its existence and its relation to relational aesthetics. The way which they talk about this garden and all the people who come to see them and participate in the project crosses over to the way which the story of ‘The Little Shop of Horrors’ does other than the fact that I do not believe any of their plants are aliens from out of space but instead different plants from people and places.

The garden, in the first place, and their documenting of it bring people to the garden in the same way as they bring people to the plant shop but the thing about it is that the idea of a plant or a garden in a place or an area which seems abnormal ends up bringing people together and ends up leaving behind not only the concept of the plant or the garden but also the people who end up meeting, interacting and changing due to the plants. The social response which occurs due to the garden, in all a social experiment, led by the ability to put a plant in the ground, water it and watch it grow. Their blog talks of the plants but, in many ways, gives you the experiences of the people who visit the garden.
