Transcript
In a village garden, a red-haired woman in a braid speaks to a black-haired woman in purple. A curly blonde woman stands beside them, and several people tend the garden in the background. A woman in a broad hat sits in the foreground holding a phone. A sign reads “ASHCOMBE VILLAGE GARDEN” and “GROWN TOGETHER THRIVES TOGETHER.” Red-haired woman: “Everyone helps maintain the village garden.” Black-haired woman: “Volunteer labor? How wonderfully economical. And relatable. I do charity work myself. Though not voluntarily.”
