Becoming a Guardian 

Being a guardian of the planet is so important and yes, plants respond to loving words. Last year, we planted our tomatoes and a freak frost rolled in that evening and nipped all of the tomato plants. The next morning, they were blackened. Everyone told me they were dead and I should pull them; all 75 plants. I said, "NO. I'm going to go outside and tell them how much I love them and how sorry I am that they were damaged. I let them sit there for a couple days, then trimmed them back. I noticed they started getting some new leaves popping out where the stems once were located. Every time that I walked down the long row of tomatoes, I would touch them and tell them that I loved them; all of them. That year we had a bumper crop of beautiful tomatoes. Unconditional love goes a LONG way.

I have seen this in my life of 73 years. We have so much power for love and joy or bad. So keep a happy song in Your heart. Love to Y'all

"The best fertilizer is the footsteps of the gardener". True in my 60+yrs of gardening.

If it doesn't get any attention,it doesn't thrive.So true! From our little flowers and trees. To all of us humans,yearning for more connection. My fur babies and little lovelies ( baby veggies herbs,and such.) Be your beautiful selves.Create beauty.Create connection. Thank you love for such an important reminder today.

God expects us to be good stewards of this earth. Not just the dirt, flora and fauna... But of the enrichment of each other and outselves. This happens when we take responsibility and love and care for something other than ourselves. Taking care of the land, nurturing goodness, and kindness , and beauty in everything we can. Thank you for such an insightful message. God Bless.

I get funny looks from my family when I greet my seedlings with 'good morning babies!' One true joy. Growing things.

I love this, if we all became guardians of the neglected public places, the world would become even more beautiful

I love the story at the beginning. I talk to my plants ALL the time and my family thinks I’ve completely lost my mind. I probably have haha. But losing my mind for plants is okay with me! Thanks for this message.

I love when the universe puts you in touch with like-minded people. Nothing is accidental....love life, be happy where you are & Danu, thank you.

Being a guardian is so very important. I love being in my garden and tending the plants and trees. So good to be with nature.

Your garden is wild, like mine in the American Ozark mountains. Thank you for your presentations. Great love and mindfulness 🕉

How beautiful! I absolutely love gardening and taking care of this beautiful world God has given us to love and cherish.

I love this. Since moving house I’ve stopped a factory polluting the river behind my house, stopped a farmer putting illegal human waste on the field and got the fisherman to pick up their litter. Now the trees have no spots, my vegetables grow and I keep getting blessed. 😘

I feel so Blessed to have found your channel. Thank you for your antidotes, wise thoughts and Beautiful Heart and Soul. It Shows in Your Gardianship of your Space. May you be Blessed Always.

Wise and wonderful words! Emoto was ahead of his time! I use his teachings when I plant my garden, I’ll sing Steve woodwinds song , Higher Love to myself while I’m planting! Thank You for sharing! Be sure to add a full cup of Love in all your endeavors!

Wonderful! I find if you put something pretty in your garden, people will stop to remark if they like it. A beautiful garden sparks connections. On a side note...what precious puppies you have. 🐾💕🌿🌿🌿

What the world needs now is love sweet love. Yes,we need to spread love everywhere, I agree!!!! Your gardens and animal frienda are Lovely !

I love that with Earth Day coming up, you made this video! I am taking the day off from my job at the hospital and I’m dedicating myself to my garden. Watching this video, I’m going to pledge myself as it’s guardian and pour my heart and soul to it! Thank you again for such a beautiful message!

I have just found your channel so happy to know there is somebody else who lives and approaches life in the same way as me. It feels lovely 😍

I do talk to my plants, asked them why they are sad, ask them not to leave me, etc. I live in South Florida. I am not allowed to have pets but nature follows me. I have been visited by racoons, cats, foxes, opossum, ravens, many birds including the cardinal, and lately butterflies are using my plant Rue to leave their eggs. Soon I will watch them become butterflies. I would live happy in an environment like yours. You are so blessed.

This is beautiful! I love Professor Emoto’s work and the story you shared about his work. How wonderful to find your channel on Earth Day. Thank you. 🤗💚🌳💦🐋

This is so true. I try to walk around in our yard garden everyday and say hello to the plants. Even if to just gaze and admire their beauty. I try to be a good steward for the land I have been given to watch over. To work in harmony with the land and let it share its fruits with nature and my family is my goal.

I planted wildflower seeds along the wash I pass each day. This year I've noticed some new additions. I love your story regarding the patch in California. You encourage us more than you know. 💜🕯🍀🌿🕯💜

Another beautiful video. Absolutely love these. Very inspiring. Thank you.

Terri, you warm my soul. Thank you for sharing peace and love in this beautiful world.

Many cities have community gardens, that you can volunteer to work in. Sometimes an older person who can't garden well, will allow a young able bodied person to garden their land, for some of the produce. Things can be done. I lived in an apartment in college thirty years ago, so asked the owner if I could put in a garden. He said yes, and a retired minister brought men fresh from prison to turn the grass for me. I finally have my own garden now. But always grew something some way. I love your passion and love that you spread it. Thank you.

Wise words from a wise woman. 🌍🙏

Yes...absolutely true!! Thank you :-) Everyone should be guardian of our MOTHER EARTH!!

I'm so glad I found this channel, it's beautiful what you are doing. The Guardian concept reminds me of what Alison McDowell is doing in her Dandelion Manifesto in the city, laying down dandelions with intention in front of company offices building our tech new world order.

If we all thought of things this way the whole world would be a much better place ❤ thank you!

Lovely!!! Yes always guardians wherever we are... wisdom woman!!!! Big hug!

Wise words from a wise woman. If everyone on earth thought this way she would be happier!!!!!! 🌍🙏. Thank you 😊

Lovely wise words. Let us all be guardians of this precious earth. Thank you 🙏

We can all become Guardian of our Earth. I clean a walking trail behind where I live. I went out on the trail recently believing it would be a mess after winter and a few weeks into spring. Low and behold it was clean! I was so surprised! I have another to check tomorrow. Fingers crossed its the same. 🤞❤⚘

It's hard to conect with the earth when you live in a high rise in a inner city,which is why community gardens are so important .I'm thankful every day that I have the good fortune to live in wonderful surroundings.Thank you for the film and music .........I only hope I can be a useful guardian xx

So heartfelt and beautiful, thank you so much !!...

I had a medicinal plant that I grew inside. Every night as I turned of the light I would say goodnight to the plant and tell her to sleep well. Every morning I would turn on the light, water my plant, and tell her to enjoy her water have a happy plant day and grow well. After a few months my friend looked at my plant. He had grown these kinds of plants for years and taught me how. He couldn't believe how big and beautiful my plant had become. He started new plants at the same time that I did and his had all died. But he didn't talk to his plants or give them any love. And I did. So mine thrived. 💖🌱💖

Very uplifting, thank you🤗❤️🇨🇦 blessings for a wonderful season of gardening & loving Mother Earth!

Beautiful! It's important to remember our relationship to the Earth and all life. Humans tend to disconnect from that relationship.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful message. Thank you for including your pet helpers in your video stories.❤️🤗🐾🐈

Such wisdom! Thank you for the gifts you give to all of us. Blessings to you.

I agree. We should take care to always show our love for others.

I completely agree with you that it is necessary to lovingly tend our gardens. I thank my plants for letting me have the leaves, etc when I harvest. When I water, I talk to them (my neighbors probably think I’m nuts, lol) oh well. Thanks Terry ☺️

You're a beautiful soul. Thank you so much.

If only every person had your soul the world would be a sweeter place, and Mother Earth would smile more:) A beautiful visit this morning to your delightful channel. Thank you. Blessings, from a rainy Shropshire, England:)

Meant to congratulate you on reaching the 10K mark. Now I see you are at the 11K + already - talk about growing at the speed of light! Well done Terri (and of course, the rest of the crew!)

The idea of being a guardian and the little vignette about the little patch of land in LA makes me think about the Buddhist temple I attend. when it moved to the place it is located it wasn't exactly a safe area. people would get robbed in the parking lot, but, as time progressed their presence there caused the area around it to change, now that area is a much safer and more peaceful place. 😊🙏💛🌿

Thank you for your much needed message.We truly create our reality thru our thoughts & feelings. Feeling gratitude ....asking ; " What little one thing can I DO today ? This week ? this " spin " of the 🌏 around the 🌞 that will make things better for us ALL ... ❤ & 🌞 🌟 🌟 🌟 💡 🌈 From 🌎 to 🌍

Happy 🌱 🌍 Earth Day!

I absolutely love your channel. Ever since I come across it I watch it every night!!! I tell my husband you're my fairy godmother lol (bc if I could ever imagine having one, it would be you!!) I have learned so much from you and I want to thank you for taking time out of your life to spread your knowledge!!

Being a guardian is something i am passionate about too. we can all do our bit to nurture and encourage a respect for nature and the gifts we can take for granted. thankfully many are returning to the land once more even if its only a little space somewhere , anywhere , even better when we take neglected places and bring them alive again! always lovely to see your garden Danu! thank you for sharing

Thank You...Yes, even a tiny bit of attention to beauty can manifest a wonderful thing, "...one day all of our teaspoons will add up, and the whole thing will tip, and people will say, how did it happen so fast..." Pete Seeger

Stewards of the earth...👵😊❤

What a tantalizing view of the interior of your wonderful little house - really looking forward to a house tour (I am manifesting a house tour)!! Great truth in what you have to say in this video - my grandmother used to talk to her flowers and plants, but she went all out and sang to her fruit and veg in her little orchard ( she placed a higher value on the edibles!). I'm doing my bit on a balcony full of pots - I sewed up garden fleece covers for them all and as its still a bit chilly for them I have to tuck them in every night.

I’m a new subscriber to your amazing channel. God bless! John 3:16❤️

I have witnessed this!! Growing things is such a thrill for me. From planting a tiny see, watching it peek out of the soil and watching the plant flourish all the way to harvest time just thrilling! You become so much more grounded. What a beautiful channel you have!!

I love your videos and it’s so wonderful to meet a kindred spirit. When young we didn’t have a garden but I loved going foraging with my grandmother, tending her roses and watching her make preserves, tinctures and herbal teas. She was a hedgerow person and I could spend hours making a tiny fairy 🧚‍♀️ house with a cotton reel table and cork chairs, pipe cleaner fairies with little leafy skirts….such a wonderful innocent time where pleasure came from nature and not technology…..

I have been frequenting a relatively secluded spot on the far end of a beautiful bay over the last two weeks, just meditating in the sun, drinking some green tea and observing the geese enjoying the river. Just the other day I started observing this season's debut dandelions and I was so happy to return home with a considerable salad. Just one day later they were very abundant and I could sense this principle of attention and reciprosity at work. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.

I'm so glad I found your little corner of RU-vid. This was just what I needed today!

I love his books!!! so I have the word....cherished ....in my work area and on my frig so I see it often we have been waiting years and years to buy another 40 acres of woods to protect for the animals that live their from our neighbors that hunt animals and cut down trees////mostly for us to wonder thru what amazed me on a wander that there was a spring that was light up like a fairy spot we also use a spring for drinking ....I love trees and plants the clouds and going out in a rain storm naked

Everything will thrive with Love ❤️

I absolutely love this video, thank you ever so much for posting! Your words are more important now then ever for our planet.

What a great thought for the day! I agree, beauty is protection and what we focus on grows!

I've been trying to secretly plant seed bombs around my little square of a front yard & around the bushes in front of my living room window, but between the lawn keepers the property manager hired & my next door neighbor with OCD "looking after your lawn for you", I haven't had good luck growing things. Especially the medicinal weeds you described in your vol. 2 (I got it!! It came in the mail on time & I love it btw. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Thank you! I happened on another video of yours (lemon balm) and enjoy your videos and the way you live (very similar to ours) and your loving pets who follow you everywhere. I resonate with everything you say and I have sadness in my heart as everytime I go out (we live in the countryside/mountains) I find trash everywhere. My way of being a guardian to the earth is picking up the trash I find whenever possible but I find myself getting angrier and angrier as I cannot understand why there is so much thoughlessness in people. Again, thank you for your lovely videos.

I could listen to you all day 🙏🏻☘️ Thankyou again for sharing your thoughts and your garden.

A beautiful message and scenery !! Thanks for sharing!!

Good advice for anyone in any living situation! I love the little doggies at the end sitting together looking out....so sweet. 2 wee guardians!! :)

A beautiful philosophy, I once ran an energy focus group, where we thought positive deeds to ripple into the neighbourhood and nationally and globally. Dr Emoto's water experiments are amazing. I'm a life time ethical Vegan and very much take planetary guardianship to the max. Those two furry treasures are definitely guardians of your beautiful land blessed be x

You are right! We have forgotten about taking care of our earth and also connecting to it as all part of creation. I used to get up early in the morning and listen to soft music and now all I want to hear are the little birds chirping as if they are trying to reach out for some communication or friendship. Tks again! Canada

This concept of being a guardian will sit with me always.

Wonderful , I talk to my plants and ask them to be pretty and they do very well . My garden looks “ancient” as my daughter put it . I put angels and other statue , a bench and try to combined my garden with beautiful things .

I love this so much - it touched me! I'm off to visit my plant friends in my garden now xxx

I have a little song I always sing to my vegetable garden when I visit it. Recently I noticed some things have stopped producing as much, and I realized I've been so busy that I haven't been out there to sing as much. You've inspired me to get back out there :) Thank you so much for being you and sharing your perspective here! 💛

I loved your stories in this video. Very easy to remember. Things need love and attention. Yes.

This is a beautiful touching video. Such things have been on my mind for the area where I live....Thank you.

Terri, what an absolutely lovely idea-choose any spot in nature and focus love and attention on it. Whisper words of encouragement and gratitude; speak of its beauty. Say, I love you...

Thank you. Very true words. Beautiful garden.

I have been watching your videos for months and I love them, but this one was served up on just the perfect day when it was needed and resonated most. I love the plant people so much and visit and talk with them, and it means so much to know that matters, that it does them some good! I look forward to taking your herbal course over the winter when things quiet down 🌳 Thank you Terri, you can’t know how much good this channel and your wisdom and beautiful being do for us. Love from the rocky northern coast of Massachusetts USA

The wisdom that you hold reminds me of my motherland (Russia) where I was born, and raised. Back then people didn’t want to see a doctor every time they had a cold or some other minor issue. People knew about natural remedies, knowledge that was passed down to them from the ancestors. I was just a child then, but I remember a few of the natural remedies that everybody seem to just know about. For example one particular wild plant was used as a medicinal plant for different purposes was ‘Coltsfoot’. In Russian the name of this plant is Мать и мачеха (mother and stepmother.) This plant grows near bodies of water. Every Russian knows about raspberry hot tea with honey for a cold, cough or sore throat. My parents would boil a pot of potatoes and then let me breathe in the steam and put a towel over my head for the times when I had chest congestion. I remember something to do with mustard on the chest also for chest congestion. My parents did cupping therapy on me when I was a little kid. These are just a few natural remedies I can remember, but there are countless natural remedies that are still used today. This is the precious ancestral knowledge that is unfortunately disappearing.

Good morning😀👍💕from Sweden🇸🇪 I have watched this video before.. but now it came up in my flow this morning.. so I watched it again...really needed to hear that...again..Thank you so much for all great inputs and tranquility your videos gives! 💝

From one guardian to another , thanks for sharing. I hope you plum trees are in blossom.🌳🌳🌼😃🍀

I love your musing like this!!! It's made me start to tell my tomato plants how yummy the tomatoes I'm getting from them are. And I tell my herbs that I'm going to make a tea from them. I've also heard that if you play soft, gentle music in your home, the house plants will enjoy it and do better.

such wonderful words of wisdom! Blessings to you Terri~

This is one my my fave videos you've made. I live in a large-ish North American urban centre - Toronto Canada - and have seen this sort of thing happen. I've participated in some of these happenings. Care and beauty beget care and beauty as do their opposites. Guardians are the people who don't wait for someone else to do it - although we may sometimes need Teachers like you to remind us

Lovely peaceful video with a message. I could feel the sunshine.

Oh i fo love you!! I am a guardian . I love earth and all nature. Thankyou

All very true....Beauty and love can be contagious ....we all just need to help it to spread like puffs of dandelions in the wind...

I love this video! Your garden and surrounding views are just wonderful. I’m off to chat to my allotment later☺️🙏🏼

I have begun speaking to my plants and it really does help! The vibes we give off are being picked up with any living being or plant. (love the markings on your kitty!!) Tks and take care....Canada

Such a beautiful channel ~ I’m so glad I found you and your wonderful insight and wisdom. I too cherish the plants and trees in my garden and spend many hours with them ⭐️🧡🌻🌿🍃🌼

You weren’t ranting at all Terri...this is so true. A little patch of earth can bring so much healing and peace and many are discovering this...more will follow. We are waking up to what caretaking our world really means...keep it local, bring it into your own community, heal and thrive.

I love your ethos! I am a guardian of my patch in London! X

I also would like to add, that I grow a vegetable garden, & spend my time there sorting things out in my mind with my LORD, talking aloud while examining the different plants, and their well being. So, I'm thinking that talking to the LORD during my time out there, helps the plants and their growth and productivity, perhaps because I'm not all about me in this life but I'm praying about other people and their needs too. Jeff B.

Thank you for promoting these wonderful ideas and offering such great advice. You are such a kind and caring person, a true guardian of the Earth. By the way, your dogs and cats are so adorable!! Looks like they have the best life a pet could ask for. 💕

Hi Danu's We enjoy watching and learning from you with with your Herbs thanks From Donnie From North Carolina thank ypu

Beautiful!!! Love your garden. ❤️❤️🌿

I love your videos Terri. Here's to a more beautiful, simple world. 🙏

Yesss absolutely! What a wonderful video and so true we can all make such a difference. I have two little ones and they each love watering their own herbs and flowers and they speak to them and tell them they love them. It's adorable. I have a witchy channel on YT too 😊 💓 Xx

You are such a precious, beautiful wild flower 🌺 thank you for speaking up, speaking the Truth without fear. I find you as refreshing as a spring breeze after the rain❣️ ahhh, a kindred, free spirit, full of life and Love 😊 Sending you a big hug and a smile. May All of humanity remember ourselves and treat ourselves, each other and All of creation the way we are supposed to 🍀
