And if someone turns a garden into something besides being a garden, what is it then? We talk with artist/gardener extraordinaire, Marcia Donahue, in her famous garden in Berkeley. It's art and also full of art. Time there can change an unsuspecting visitor's life. "I'm a permission giver," she says. Artist Mildred Howard tells about her work as director of the Alice Waters Edible Garden at Martin Luther King Middle School in Berkeley, about her bottle gardens and the gardens of her childhood days. We have Andy Cao's glass garden in LA, Lotusland in Santa Barbara and Cevan Forristt's over-the-top garden in San Jose.

"To be an artist is not a matter of making paintings or objects at all. What we are really dealing with is our state of consciousness and the shape of our perception... The act of art is a tool for extended consciousness." --Robert Irwin
