It’s more farming than gardening, but it’s one of the most gorgeous earth-focused, soil-celebrating sensory experiences I can remember on film: Days of Heaven, from 1978, with Richard Gere, Brooke Adams and — added bonus — Sam Shepard.

I was going to mention Much Ado, too! The grounds they used in the film are gorgeous…

I recommend Saving Grace (not everyone’s type of gardening but it’s a riot) and also Green Thumbs (or Green Fingers?) It’s another Irish movie that is funny and full of gardening.

I enjoyed The Milagro Bean Field War and Greenfingers. Both were quiet little indie films if I recall correctly.

Widow’s Peak had neighbours fighting over prize roses.

I almost mentioned Much Ado About Nothing too! GREAT movie. (I was devastated by the breakup of Branagh/Thompson.)

Pretty much any Jane-Austen-based film has garden aspects to it as well. I believe Emma has quite a few garden-based scenes.

I recommend The Secret Garden — a great film for kids as well as adults.

Another film with a garden aspect (but that I hated is American Beauty.

Much Ado About Nothing with Kenneth Brannagh and Emma Thompson leading the romp in a formal garden with lots of hedges for hiding and eavesdropping.
