Growing Love conveys the joy of nurturing plants and watching them grow, regardless of their shape, size, or species. Beginning with the wonder and awe of a seed, the film ponders how it is that so much life can germinate from even the smallest of things. Following the activities of an amateur gardener, Growing Love is narrated through an autobiographical voice. The film tells tales of the relationships people build with plants, examines their day-to-day nurturing, and weaves in personal perspectives on what society considers as conventionally beautiful and worthy of our attention.
