- Gardening with Soul is a feature length documentary following a year in the garden with 90-year-old Sister Loyola Galvin. Sister Loyola's optimism is infectious and it's fed every day by her love of gardening. Themes of faith, aging and compassion sit alongside the practicalities of community life, issues within the Catholic Church and the importance of good compost in this intimate, funny and moving portrait of a woman approaching the end of her life.—Jess Feast
- Sister Loyola is one of the liveliest nonagenarians you could ever meet. As the main gardener at the Home Of Compassion, her daily tasks include heavy lifting alongside vigorous spade and wheelbarrow work, which she sometimes performs on crutches. Filmmaker Jess Feast has been following Sister Loyola over the last year, charting her journey through the seasons which included her ninetieth birthday. Through her garden, we begin to understand Loyola's commitment to nurture all living things; especially those which 'don't get a good start'. Any belief we might harbor that becoming a nun is avoiding the real world is turned firmly on its head as we witness this extraordinary soul steer a sharp course through all weathers, trying to shine love on everything she sees.—Anonymous
