Guardians of the Green Documentary | Joe Hollis | Mountain Gardens | Dr. Azra Bertrand 

Joe Hollis for president

Just watched Peter Santanello interview with Joe. Joe you are an inspiration! I hope one day I can visit your gardens & purchase some tinctures. Keep inspiring & teaching others thru your wonderful gardens

Fantastic documentary.🌹✨ Im sad to hear of the news of joe passing. I have been inspired by joe for about 15 years . I wish i could have met him. Joe thank you for time upon the earth with us all and encouraging others to connect back to mother nature.

My family is from a tribal culture that many ppl do not grasp bc they don't live in an environment or with the environment. It is refreshing to see a white American that is intelligent enough to live right sized, knowing his place in it...instead of being dependent upon it and yet also dominating it merely to extract its beauty and energy. Quite inspiring and glad to know he gave credit to the tribal ppl living in long houses in Borneo. There's a reason why they lived that way for so long and experience joy by doing it the way their ancestors did. I like how Joe saw THAT and was inspired by THAT enough to build his own which also inspires others as well. 😊❤

We have purchased 2acres of ancient forest on an island and I’ve been telling everyone I can’t believe we “Own” these old trees doesn’t feel right ownership I’ve been saying we are temporary guardians of them, We are all one, 🖤❤️Your little eden 🤗🙏🏿❤️🖤

I'm an EX nurse turned herbalist. We both are experienced gardeners, plus he's an excellent mechanic for vehicles or small motors. I grow herbs and create tinctures, teas and balms. My dad was a college professor who taught biology, botany and eventually "science education". Joe is my "spirit animal"!

I want to be here so badly. My heart just feels some kind of way about this place.

Filming Joe Hollis was inspirational! We had a wonderful time making this documentary! Glad Joe is getting the love & attention he deserves 💖🌱

Thank you. Had an old Navajo friend always said “Walk in Beauty ”. So many meanings. It’s become a way of life.

Joe is a modern day Druid. 👍🙏

Thanks to Peter Santanello for introducing us to your videos. You are such a good man teaching and inspiring people despite the distance. Thank you very much.

I read in the comments of Peter Santonelli's video about Joe, that he had cancer and passed away on Nov 7th this year.

Joe, you and your apprentices are forever legends, because you passed your knowledge to them and now you have passed. Rest in peace friend.

I don't know I can't help myself but to cry honestly I really love the nature. Nature gives us peace of mind and soul , energy and strength needed by our body . These should be on a mainstream to awaken the people cuz it's a one way to protect our nature😢. Thank you so much for these kind of channel and to Mr Joe thank you and May God bless you 🙏.

" Back to the future " indeed Joe. Thanks for being a steward and caring and loving the gardens.

Heaven on Earth! What a stunning place. We all should be living just like this. Thank you, Joe for sharing your beautiful home with us.

I just bought a piece of land yesterday, and now this video pops up. Thank you for the inspiration.

Wow 🤩Hi Beautiful Soul Brother Joe Hollis 🤚Hi Soul Brother Dr. Azra, I love how you speak so soothing calming, full of compassion. 🧝‍♀️⭐️🙏❤️‍🩹Universe is so magical, I am pretty sure me being on this channel it’s not coincidental, it’s synchronicity, Spirit continuously leading the way for me. I stumbled upon Peter reason I’ve found you Joe. Listening to you is a music to my ear, I just keep smiling throughout your chat with Dr.Azra . This is the most incredible night I have ever have , so full of joy and blessings. I will listen more of your channel Joe.. Sending you love & Light 🧝‍♀️🙏⭐️❤️‍🩹🦋👼🫶Full of gratitude me 🧝‍♀️🙏👼⭐️Namaste 🧝‍♀️⭐️🙏❤️‍🩹👼🦋🫶🌹✨

i have visited mountain gardens for a few herb school field trips ~ there is really no place like it in this area and the plant knowledge is unlimited. great Vibe, great place.

@13:22 - "Whether we eat plants, whether we eat animals that have eaten those plants or whether we breath the oxygen thats been created by those plants" Yes, yes and YES!!! 🤝

Omg! Ive just recently learned about Joe! Im giddy now (seeing him on your channel)! He has so much knowledge to share and he's happy to share and teach. I'm humbled and grateful to be his student. It would be beyond fantastic to have health enough to live on his little part of the mountain and do some hands on learning from him! I truly hope the right people are brought to Joe so that he can leave his little part of paradise for others to continue what he started. 😊❤

This is sooo heartwarming… I Love to see Joe Hollis back. It is delightful to know know he has help.

Joe Hollis has a place in my heart. I really hope that people can relearn primitive concepts and love nature like Joe does

I’m absolutely in love with this man an what he has done to his land an all the knowledge he has!!! What a remarkable man I’d love to meet this man an donate myself to help him an put my butt to work on his land in any help he needs! Gosh what a dream come true

I’m just setting here thinking about having had the opportunity to share time with these two guys during this little filming and how incredibly changed I’d have been. We absolutely absorb other peoples waves or chi! When we are incredibly happy and grateful to just have another wonderful thanksgiving and opportunity to celebrate another fantastic day on this journey and to get to be apart of this magical world! If you aren’t just blown away by the beauty of this world around you then you must be living the wrong life and that wrong way! Recognize! It’s just over! Second’s short and if you are waisting any part you’re doing it wrong!!!

Magic of the eco system. Mother nature is amazing.

Joe you and Dr azra are such wise knowledgeable men I love everything your doing, my dream is to have my own homestead and start it with my family also. A lot if think we need all these things to live but we don’t,we form a connection with nature and go from there , such an inspiration to us all

I am so excited to follow your journey, Joe. I live in central Alabama and have a draw to nature and the holistic approach to living off the land and building a future connected to nature. Thank you for your years of teaching. I hope others take note.

Just subscribed! Really enjoyed this video.Found this channel through Peter Santenellos video.

This place feels like home to me and is home to my ancestors. I have a longing to be there. To grow young there. Paradise is what the creator put into our heart with eternity as our lifespan. I love this kindred spirit. He is more in tune with the scriptures and purpose for the earth than I think he is aware of. I would love to take the arthritis out of his hands for him. Yes it is possible and has been done. My life is very similar to his. So much more peace this way. Bless his heart.❤

Thanks to all parties involved for this very well made interview. Wishing you all the very best 😊🌱

Hi Joe. I have just watched the Peter Santanello video. Really enjoyed it and you have inspired me in so many ways. Can't thank you enough.

Pleased to see all these folks discovering Mountain Garden and Joe Hollis. He’s definitely a treasure.

I have been saying the same about beauty for years-it has an evolutionary function! That is in informing us about ecosystem health. We can’t standardize beauty, but it can lead us the way to restoring the land’s natural wholeness, the health of the land.

Feel So bless to find this channel .! I been study Herbalist, medicine plants , how they heal our bodies, mind and souls . I am from Panama Canal 🇵🇦 we protect our rain forest us our source of LIFE ..! 👍🇵🇦🌎🌳🙌🙏😇🤗

I saw peters interview. Back for more. He has lived an amazing life🌻🦋

So refreshing to have found other like minded beings. Grateful for both of your insights. Joe your property is paradise.

Your speaking to my heart. ❤️ Thankyou

Eco- magic.....Eco-romance....We are not the only thing on earth...it's not all about you.....Plants quietly observe, and offer...Learn their language....Respect the garden, you too were planted in. We have wantered off the path, but there is still hope. This video is a reminder...it is a sign to the path back to the garden...but you must humble yourself, and be willing to learn, and come with respect. It's a give and take, not just take and destroy without knowing what you have done. 1 earth. A beautiful garden......It knows how if you listen and observe.

RIP Joe. I learned to much from your videos. Thank you.

We just gathered about 3/4 gallon of beauty berry this morning. I am going to make some jelly. I came in and rested and that was when I found Joe's videos and I cannot stop watching. I am going to have to stop soon and wash my berries, but fire or no fire Joe's dream will always live in the lives of the people he touches through his gardens and his ideals.

Joe you are a guide into our hearts.. thank you so much

Joe Is like a SAHM of 40 years that is happy and content. It seems to me he even blends in all that plant background. God bless you Joe!

Every fiber & electron of my being NEEDS to come to this place

I love nature, but this made me emotional a few times. Great work.

I also am in marvel of the great beauty of the earth and I'm grateful to the Creator for it everyday.

Extreme wisdom, extremely important. Thank you both.

Respect due to Mr. Hollis

This channel popped up so I'm watching this video now & wow, this is so beautifully photographed & relaxing chat with an amazing pair of blokes who know exactly what thier talking about. This is a fractal world & Carbon based & we are made of the same ingredients as plants. It's almost as if I'm watching a living example of the 9 prophecies of the book called " The celestine prophecy " Love from a gardener in Australia. 😀

Feeds the soul ,Thankyou🍁

What a wonderful place. I wish I lived here. Inspires me more to learn and buy a some land to develop like this in the U.K. Magical. Gaia needs more beautiful souls doing this. ❤❤❤

This is utterly beautiful and inspiring 🙏🦋❤️🌼

So grateful. I feel so much more in tune with the wild/garden that I am blessed to be a co-creator of. So Good to hear and experience you both.

Joe your the inspiration I’ve been looking for never cared about the Internet so I just found you in my older age ! I’m trying to learn gardening and herbs and would love to learn tinctures! I’ve made two. I’m been wanting to move as well … thinking off grid . However what you’ve done is a blessing and amazingly beautiful ! I wish I wouldn’t been so closed mined when I was in my thirties I’d be there with you now! Looking forward to your teachings as I’m eager to learn! Oh I’m 25 minutes from Chapel Hill my friend bread n born. Ready to spread wings to my calling.

I feel as if I’ve just been given a gift. A very special important gift. I will absolutely be there the very moment I am suppose to be. And as soon as I can be. 🤠❤️💡

I’m setting here absolutely mesmerized that I was so so lucky and gifted enough today to have been shown this incredible video of a beautiful gentleman who is probably one of the only other men who I would absolutely love to wake up every day and have him give me some direction and I could go pound it out or I just would love to be guided by joe in the quest to learn more about medicinal plants. I’ve been doing gardening and landscaping my entire life even on the side as I worked several real jobs because there’s something inside my body that needs to be helping my plants… sick plants and tree’s are pretty ignored around a city area where I have lived and I’ve found after 53 years my soul needs to help those suffering trees and plants and I don’t need money… I’m definitely not a fan of the societal system that I’ve been born into… capitalism is that extremely cold and nasty system for trading some services or goods… I’m just not really happy about this world where everyone is always trying to win a argument or break down the other people and take advantage of their hard work or cut their projects value simply to save more fake wealth! Value and wealth and from your heart not your wallet

Joe you are the real deal and a prime example of who we all should be looking up to and for for what we should or should not be doing in this life

Hi Joe- just got turned on to your channel & work! NAMASTÉ! I spent 15 years above Taos, N M learning with Muna @ the Snow Mansion Gardens. Our community practices Bio Dynamic gardening. Äm now on my own little half acre in NW Arkansas. My work is named The One Leaf Revolution; as the land yields mostly rocks 😅! But, I do have many deciduous trees, and knew how to make them into dirt. Not quick or easy; but there’s the lesson of coexistence with our Earth Mother! Äm also still a student after a mere 52 years of my 61 years being conscious of the way plants work. Thanks for your work and hope you have many years to come! ☮️& Power to the Plants 🌱

Beautiful. The Blessed Beauty, Baha’u’llah, would be proud.

Rest in Paradise, Joe. Your life has touched mine.

What a beautiful place and this journey is such inspiration ❤❤❤

I love you Mr Hollis

I really appreciate the content and information from Joe and all involved. Thanks for sharing

This is my dream…but I don’t have very much knowledge but I’d be a sponge…watching all Joe’s videos now!

Hi Joe, thank you

Good health,spiritual happiness and an abundance of organic wealth.

this is what humanity should aspire to

GOD get's ALL the credit for HIS beautiful CREATION~

What beautiful ideas and beautiful logic. How simple yet enormous love has been allowed to be a law into this man.

Good to see you Joe! Bob Burns and I used to come to the permaculture gatherings at Celo until we moved out west, and then to Illinois. So maybe we'll see you again some day soon! And I agree with you about no "design", just let nature show you what to do.

Indigenous wisdom

Joe is a hero. I'm learning so much from his work!

Merci Joe for your videos & kindness 💚💚 (please keep all his videos up. They are important knowledge/ wisdoms).

very beautiful and wise. Thank you.

This was such a beautiful documentary and what an incredible being Joe Hollis is. This just made me feel such joy. Thankyou 🙏🙏💚💚

Hello, I am from Indonesia. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. God bless you and I appreciate you!

I feel so much love listening and watching this video. Wonderfully created paradise!

I came across Joe Hollis through a video from Pete Santerra. I've been independently studying permaculture, sustainable housing, organic gardening for more than 10 years and am interested in earthship builds, Cobb housing, earthbag shelter builds, etc. I admire Joe's philosphy on detaching from the monetary system and I think it's too bad that these "practitioners" have moved in and found a way to monetize his property by charging thousands of dollars (and I suspect to facilitate these drug induced hallucination camp experiences that have become popular), instead of helping fulfill Joe's dream of actually creating a communal living experience for like-minded lovers of Gaia.

Id love to come for a summer and learn from Joe. My mom's parents kept their own massive garden with an apple tree and chickens for years, my mom keeps her own modest garden, but the knowledge has been lost on her children. Id love to "get back to the future"

Fantastic Interview Joe. Your garden is so inspiring. I agree with your thoughts on permaculture too. It is becoming more and more intrusive.

I’m so glad to see something like this exists

Joe Hollis is a treasure.

So Beautiful 👍❤️💯

❤❤❤❤❤ inspiring Joe.

The brain is the CPU 🧠 Intelligence comes from our true selves. Consciousness , awareness , the life force. Thought and the ego comes from the aura around us. If we are thinking too much , we need to meditate and remember who we are. You have a body , you have a mind , but you are the soul

Joe Hollis has a lot Wisdom advice for LIFE

What a patient man you are Joe.

Thank you SO much for this!

Plants are our ancestors and our progeny

Joe has fully inspired me to turn my ground to a food forest and a sanctuary at the same time. Thank you, Joe. I love you already!!

Well done for making a beautiful documentary resonant with the energy of Gaia 🌟

Thank you. Life is all in colours.

God's blessings to all Amen 😇🙏😇

Many thanks for this. So inspiring and beautiful.

Joe keep drinking the sweet tea leaf we need you around for ever

Thank you for sharing all these videos! I hope I can visit the mountain gardens one day!

You are so right! My relationship with my plants is very nurturing very loving.

Beautiful film

I'll never look at plants and vegetation the same. I have the means and time available to live this kind of life. And that is very exciting.

Such a beautiful place Joe . Thank you for sharing
