Horst Mager, himself a gardener with an allotment in Berlin, has visited people and places in Berlin and Brandenburg whose enthusiasm and love for self-sufficiency is infectious, thought-provoking, astonishing and captivating. Growing your own vegetables and using the power of plants: a need for many who live in a climate-conscious way. It doesn't matter whether it's a balcony, allotment or wide open country - being independent, growing healthy food for the family is a great joy! This self-sufficiency happiness has very different roots in Berlin and Brandenburg, as diverse as the people here are. A Frenchman's balcony becomes a vegetable plantation - he celebrates every radish as if it were something very special. In a kindergarten teacher's allotment, almost forgotten cultivation methods are being implemented, here spinach is the key to self-sufficiency happiness. In an actress's wild Brandenburg garden, everything she and her family need to feel good in body and mind grows. Two former Berlin residents create their own recipes with their vegetables and even carve the cooking utensils themselves. They then photograph their creations in such a way that your mouth literally waters. What all hobby gardeners have in common is not only their great desire for self-sufficiency, but they also regularly share this passion on Instagram, posting their experiences there every day and being accompanied by up to 55,000 followers.
