Gardening With Sex Toys is about wanting to connect and wanting to feel good. You might think the show is about a bunch of vibrators, but it’s not.
It’s about vulnerability and pleasure. It’s about bodies and words. It’s about our attempts to connect with the parts of ourselves and others that sometimes feel unknowable.
We want Gardening With Sex Toys to feel like playing footsy under the table with someone you really like.
It’s okay to feel a bit awkward. It’s okay to giggle.
