Background

"We are just creatures in the end, aren't we? Nothing special. The same as the pigs and the flies. We fucked it. We tried to put it right, we didn't manage. Maybe it's time just to be one of them again."

The Garden portrays a couple re-discovering hope when humanity runs out of resource.
