The book and video are also available in Spanish - -- EL CÍRCULO DE LAS CALABAZAS: Historia de un huerto.
From George Winston:
George Levinson and I were talking about several other projects, but sadly he passed on soon after this project. He was such a wonderful visionary and and great person to work with.
