and<00:06:57.659> you<00:06:57.749> might<00:06:57.899> think<00:06:57.929> well<00:06:58.349> why<00:06:58.979> a<00:06:59.009> garden

and you might think well why a garden

and you might think well why a garden
and<00:06:59.909> the<00:06:59.999> answer<00:07:00.299> to<00:07:00.419> that<00:07:00.449> is<00:07:00.749> a<00:07:00.959> garden<00:07:01.589> is

and the answer to that is a garden is

and the answer to that is a garden is
the<00:07:01.860> optimal<00:07:02.459> combination<00:07:02.819> of<00:07:03.389> nature<00:07:03.629> and

the optimal combination of nature and

in a safe and controlled environment so

in a safe and controlled environment so
that's<00:07:14.939> like<00:07:15.059> an<00:07:15.209> optimal<00:07:15.689> environment<00:07:15.809> for

that's like an optimal environment for

that's like an optimal environment for

you<00:25:56.620> pop<00:25:56.799> out<00:25:56.950> of<00:25:57.070> that<00:25:57.190> and<00:25:57.340> that's<00:25:57.399> a<00:25:57.580> good

you pop out of that and that's a good

you pop out of that and that's a good
thing<00:25:57.970> and<00:25:58.299> so<00:25:59.880> here's<00:26:00.880> an<00:26:01.059> interesting

thing and so here's an interesting

thing and so here's an interesting

state and identifying an error and

state and identifying an error and
correcting<00:26:08.980> it<00:26:09.039> that's<00:26:09.490> a<00:26:09.700> little<00:26:09.909> death<00:26:10.149> and

correcting it that's a little death and

correcting it that's a little death and
rebirth<00:26:10.980> that's<00:26:11.980> like<00:26:12.190> the<00:26:12.340> Phoenix<00:26:12.760> the

rebirth that's like the Phoenix the

rebirth that's like the Phoenix the

Phoenix dissolves itself into ashes and

Phoenix dissolves itself into ashes and
then<00:26:16.330> pops<00:26:16.690> back<00:26:16.899> up<00:26:16.960> as<00:26:17.320> a<00:26:17.350> new<00:26:18.070> bird
