    Back to the Garden takes the audience back twenty years, to a Healing Gathering in rural Washington state and introduces a group of back to the land hippies who dropped out of society to live off the grid, grow their own, and raise non-traditional families…then zooms ahead to the present to discover what’s become of their dreams of environmental utopia and their alternative families while revealing the personal sacrifices made to realize those dreams.

    Twenty years ago, director Kevin Tomlinson traveled to Tonasket, a small town in Eastern Washington, where he interviewed a “healing gathering” of back-to-the-land movement “hippies” practicing peace and love. Forty years after Woodstock, he tracked down the same folks and their children to find out what became of them and their search for environmental utopias. His documentary captures a time-lapse view of their movement through their personal stories. “The world is coming to a start, not to an end,” claims Jeffery Stonehill in 1988. He left his job as manager of the Beverly Hills Hotel and moved to Lopez Island where he gardens, lives in a school bus, and teaches languages. OnePine grew up in a middle class family and now lives in the house that she built. Skeeter runs a permaculture organic farming business. “I’m still a hippie. I keep changing but my core values of love, being against war, making peace with the earth, are the same.” Not so long ago, these “hippie” communities were on the radical fringe. Today, with the green movement looking to protect the earth for future generations in the midst of global warming, the voices of these flower children are prophetic. Director Kevin Tomlinson expected to attend both screenings.
