Roland Oliphant: 园艺在冲突地区扮演着独特的角色，它不仅是人们在战火中寻求慰藉的方式，也是一种文化和社区的象征。Lali Snow的报道以独特的视角关注冲突，注意到在战争中人们的园艺行为，并将其写成了一本书，探讨园艺如何给人们带来慰藉。这种从地面、从土壤、从花坛的角度来看待战争的方式，与我们通常在播客中采取的鸟瞰式战略视角截然不同，它更加人性化，也更加重要。 Lali Gisno: 作为一名战地记者，我亲眼目睹了战争的残酷，但我同时也看到了人们在废墟中创造美丽和希望的努力。我意识到传统的冲突报道并没有改变人们的认知，因此我决定反其道而行之，拍摄与冲突对立的事物。对我来说，园艺是冲突的对立面，因为它代表和平、生长和控制环境。在不同的地区，人们对土地有不同的情感联系，园艺也因此具有了不同的意义。在以色列，土地与宗教意义相关，而在阿富汗，人们热爱土地。通过关注这些在战火中依然盛开的花朵，我希望能找到希望的种子，并让更多人了解战争的另一面。

Shownotes Transcript

In this special episode of Battle Lines, we’re joined by Lally Snow — a seasoned war reporter and photographer who has spent years covering conflict zones around the world. From the frontlines of Afghanistan to other war-torn regions, Lally has witnessed the brutal realities of war. But amidst the chaos, she discovered something unexpected: people tending to gardens.

Her fascination with this quiet act of resilience led to her 2018 book, War Gardens, where she explored how individuals in the midst of conflict use gardening as a form of solace and survival. Now, years later, Lally returns to some of the same places and people to see how their stories — and their gardens — have endured.

Tune in as Lally shares her unique perspective on conflict, resilience, and the human instinct to create beauty in the darkest of times.
