Keyhole Garden Video Stars Texas Actress
CLIFTON, Texas – A young Texas actress, Brianne Harvey, has taken to the Internet to promote what she feels is the future in raising crops – keyhole gardening.
The 14-year-old recently accepted a starring role in the You Tube video entitled “Open The Door To The Future…Keyhole Gardening.” Here she explains and demonstrates the advantages of something dear to her heart — keyhole gardens. “I love them,” she said. “They are fascinating. “
The youngster wants to pass on the reminder that fall gardens can be the best, especially the keyhole variety, so she urges the public to consider planting for fall, which needs to be done soon.
POSSIBILITIES ABOUND when raising crops in a keyhole garden, which is illustrated in this garden located at Keyholefarm.com’s Central Texas location earlier this year.
She said that keyhole gardens are easy to tend and, by design, the concept takes recycling to the hilt. Other advantages include substantial water conservation, the ability to plant crops closer together and within easy reach, and less weeding and backbreaking work.
“Brianne” (as she likes to be called) explained that the younger generation – her generation – can “really get into” this new approach to learning about agriculture. “It is an important step in re-establishing an old link to the past, one our forefathers believed in.”
Keyhole gardening began a few years ago as an experimental venture at a school in Lesotho, Africa, but has now spread to the United States and is catching on like wildfire, the actress explained. “Schools here are now getting into the act, utilizing keyholes to teach students about geography, mathematics, science, and economics as they pertain to agriculture.
“This is so valuable,” she commented. “It’s something that stays with you always, like riding a bicycle, and we really need inspirations in traditional values in this country right now so I am happy to tell the world about keyhole gardens.”
The 4:54-minute video provides useful details about the concept of keyhole gardens, their design, and how they work. The video was sponsored by Keyholefarm.com, which provided the images used in the project.

Brianne Harvey has appeared in two television commercials, one for Pilgrim’s Pride chicken and one for a political movement, a Baylor University play entitled “Six Characters In Search Of An Author,” her school’s one-act play competition, and various other acting venues over several years. She wants to expand her acting into a full-time career.
