The Green Man and the Garden

It's easy to feel the influence of the Green Man when out of doors. Look at the trees -- the shape of green faces in the leaves looking down, the bark on trees having interesting expressions.  Nature is alive and well.   The Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall, England have an interesting tale, but also a living Green Man head and lovely Green Lady.

Disney and the Green Man

I cannot tell you how amazed and excited I was to see the trailer of Disney's new film "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" on television yesterday.  The Green Man has come to a major motion picture...well, a Green Man of sorts.  I need to wait until the movie is released on August 15th, but the synopsis is that Timothy Green grew from the garden.  He has some magical powers and from what I gathered from the film clips, he makes people feel good! Here's the link to the film:

Let me know what you think.
