We Turned Our Yard Into A Food Forest During Quarantine | Epic Garden Tour 

I’m a 20 year old uni student studying business and property in New Zealand, but creating a food forest on my forever home is my dream!

People don't even know how these food forests help the environment. This is so important guys if you have space just plant! Plant mint, plant kale, plant trees just whatever. Pls plant! This is so important for the future.

I love the kiss to the first mango! I waited 8 years to get persimmons on trees from seed. It was elation picking 541 persimmons several years later. Last year we picked our first and only pawpaw. It was a holy moment. May God’s glory fill the earth. Thanks for sharing your family garden experience!

true blessing is not the garden or the house. its a spousal bond you and your husband have. To work together with joy and love your kids. That is real blessing that God has bestowed

The footage of your kids interacting with the food forest is just amazing. I'd love to one day give my kids the same chance

I can't put into words how amazing I find u guys. This is beyond words. In such a short time to accomplish this and with such difficult terrain. I am in awe. God bless you all and I pray I can convince my husband to go on a similar journey with me by using you as our inspiration. Thanks a million for sharing.

Important for all our futures. Not wars, greed, and looking for the next country to undermine and demonise. Let's allow Mother Nature to nourish us as children that sprung from her bountiful resources. Well done, you two - and your much-involved children, too.

I'm so so so glad more are realizing the importance of food forestry!

Aside from creating a hillside garden of Eden of fruit trees, passion vines, grapes, garden veggies..what a wonderful environment for your children!! I was raised by an absentee military father, and a depressed introverted mom, but both loved some form of gardening and that is some of my best childhood memories. You are giving this gift to your children, how wonderful

It’s amazing what can be done on even a small piece of property. We did the same thing and turned our average sized back yard into a food garden. We grow so much that we have easily fed our family, extended family, and give to friends and neighbors constantly! The more we give the more his provides and our plants and trees absolutely thrive!

What a wonderful way to turn a "negative" into a positive thing that keeps on giving!

Gardening and botany are definitely two of the most soul soothing, calming things. I loved how peaceful this was!!!

I just had to comment on how beautiful this looks! Wondering if you realize how truly blessed your family is! Hard work for the body, and look at the outcome, hard work for the soul, and the spirit of God will dwell in your heart. Love, always love! I pray that your neighbors and everyone will be inspired by the beauty and bounty God has blessed you with! Lots of love 💘 from a northern grandmother .

Wauw that is amazing!! Living in Denmark I get a little jealous of the year round garden!! Would love more garden content 🤗

So nice that you gave our creator credit for these amazing gifts. Good girl.

Amazing how your family has loved the earth God gave, which continues to in turn...love you all back🥰🍇🍈🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🥭🍏🍐🍒🍓🍎🥝🍅🥥🥑🍆🥔🥕🌽🌶🥒🥬🥦🧄🧅❣

A huge blessing of the past two years is it has brought to our consciousness what brings us lasting happiness. These home-grown foods are priceless, to the stomach and the soul.

“The remedy in the dirt” I love that line I sure did and God led me to start growing my own in my little container garden. After you talk about our God I had to subscribe lol Bless you and the family

Love that you gave thanks to the Creator at the end of your video! God loves a grateful heart! 💚

What your family did was truly amazing. You honor God by what you do for our Mother Earth.

Amazing. I started gardening too during the lockdown except, I’m in a townhouse with just a balcony. My balcony though is filled with over 50 pots. I love it.

This is one of the best gardening videos that's super motivating and encouraging that nothing is impossible, it has put an positive view of I can do anything irregardless of landscape or soil. I started gardening since young age and that's the one thing I have never gave up and I will continue until I reach more than my imagination and vision into reality 💯

It is so healing, i cant throw any vegetable or fruit seeds out!!! Im always amazed at how much God loves us just by seeing how abundantly there are seeds in one fruit or vegetable!!

The "maybe just" have started a lot of amazing things in this world.

Absolutely love this! I love too that it started as creating a small lawned area for the kids yet they’ll likely interact more with the rest of what you’re creating as they grow ❤️ Plus teaching them so many lessons with growing your own food

What an awesome video, and such an inspiring story! Everyone should be doing this with their families, it teaches the next generation that hard work pays off more than just cars or other unimportant material possessions. The most important things in this world are not what most people claim. Great job!

We are building our retirement home in a community ruled by an HOA. We applied for an exception to put some fruit trees on our lot and were turned down, so we planted various different fruit 'bushes' instead! They weren't happy about it, but they didn't have anything in their silly rule book against the type of bushes we could plant! We also put up a lovely arbor and somehow we now have grape vines growing on it! I think birds must have dropped some seeds in the 'wrong' place one night...around 3 am if I'm not mistaken! And my neighbors LOVE it so we are working to get some of these rules changed. I have some raised beds that are allowed so I also grow some different greens and lots of herbs.

this was too inspiring ! I cant stop crying I want this for myself and my son . I cant wait to at least get 1 acre to start .

June 2021 we moved from Colorado to coastal Southwest Florida. We are turning our 1/2 acre property into combinaton food forest and pollinator sanctuary. Anyway, I planted a passion fruit vine for the fritillary butterflies and it's the wildest growing plant ever. It's used up all the space of an oak and palm trellis I built -- and now it's reaching out trying to grab onto other trellises.

How rewarding and beautiful. Addictive isn’t it? Love the concrete planter idea. Time for a new channel based on your gardening perhaps?

More garden content please! This was amazing

You are so lucky to have a great husband who cooperated with you to do your dream garden. God bless you both and keep you together. ❤️✌🏽

The "gooseberry" you mention is actually a ground cherry. Both are good! You've made a beautiful garden. Thanks for sharing it!

I would love to see more about how you layered your food forest (eg. ground covering plants, bushes, any other vines) and which plants you chose to grow next to each other. Also, which companion flowers did you go with? Lovely and inspiring video!

Beautiful video ❤ my family and i have just moved to a new home and i am discovering my new garden and planning. My heart and soul feels so refreashed when gardening, it makes me smile when i think of Eden and that God was the master gardener. Happy gardening from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤🙏

This is the best way to live in this world. I grow all my veges and fruits in my small back yard. Persimmon, Avocado, Grapes, berries, Pomegranate, Black palms, sugar palms. lemon, mandarins.5 kinds of Apples, 4 guavas ,9kinds of bananas. All of them now give fruits.

What a beautiful and inspiring video! We moved to Puerto Rico and live in the true tropics on a little finca (farm) and are growing many, many trees and plants as well. Unfortunately there are no large size tree nurseries so all of ours are taking a long time, but we are finally reaping the harvest of our labor over the years too. I need to make a food forest video like this. We have some videos about our gardens in general, but the food forest alone would be great to showcase.

Thank you for sharing!! What a wonderful story and family!!! I love gardening

Yes, it is definitely a labour of Love. Thank you for sharing your most amazing creation and addition to the positive planning of our Universe.

Stoked that you guys are on it. A year ago ,I decided to dig up all the weeds(hard) & ww some soil amend. Was on my way to front yard gardens. Every day my mind is blown looking at what a garden can do. Mentally the CHI is flowing, and the neighbors gawk. Just add water 💧 ( EASY). THANK YOU. P.J. SIGNS, CARPINTERIA, CA.

What a beautiful family! And talk about healthy and wholesome living, it doesn't get any better than this. Very inspiring, and Just what we needed during these difficult times.Thanks for the video! Keep on growing, keep on glowing, and may God continue to bless your family. Greetings from Los Angeles.

I just have to say what an incredible story. I love how you turn your home land into a fantastic feast of fruits, vegetables and flower to keep the bees happy. I love the video. ❤️

It is beautiful that you acknowledged God for his wonderful gifts to us!!!!🙏🏻🌷

This video feels like a glimpse into our own potential future; filled with connection to the earth and to one another. Beauty, nature, nurturing, respect, gratitude. I like this world. This world will sustain us in health and happiness. Let's keep manifesting this world until it's a reality...

Wonderful. Health and exercise! I found quarantine a great experience.

great job guys...I think you should mulch around the trees with leaves or wood chips.. if not already..it will help to add organic matter to soil..

Greetings from another climate similar to yours. Down here in a currently cold Melbourne lol. We did the same thing when the lockdowns started, planted a food forest and a backyard orchard. It has been an amazing journey, and the kids love the food coming out, only a few weeks ago we stopped getting two punnets of raspberries a day. For me the most rewarding is finding new plants, I know juneberries are common to Americans but here took me a year to find a single tree and so worth it. Or the best yet is discovering our native bushfoods, things you will never find in the shops. If you ever get a chance check out Australian bush tucker plants, Midyims, Muntries, apple berries, the salt bushes (old man and ruby), native elderberry (ours can be eaten freely no toxicity at all), lilly pillies (bush cherry and riberry). All of them should grow there easily and I promise will add a unique flavour.

Loved your video! God provides! Lately, I've been watching foraging videos. God forbid that I'm ever homeless and destitute but it brings so much hope knowing that you can, at least find something to eat if you're completely broke.

I love this so much. I just got into gardening at the age of 25 and I am still learning but its so much fun and seeing your produce and flowers/plants mature is so satisfying. I would love to live in a warmer place though, growing things in Ontario (Canada) is very hard I feel.

I love this! What an amazing proj ect to do during quarantine. Thank you for sharing. 🧡🌳🍑

Kodus for the couple who decided to do this! Gives their children the chance to see a proper fruit tree and and appreciation for letting them walk on bare feet as well!!! Going back to where we're before all those big supermarket were built!!!!

As a suggestion you should go on holiday in my region and learn to make "muretti a secco", dry walls, so typical of Ligurian (Italy) landscape. Your garden doesn't look steep at all compared to some parts of my Mediterranean region where the only flat thing is the sea :) Dry walls made of stones give you more workable space for growing your plants and trees and help retain water but also release it when there is just too much rain. They are also much easier to walk around if you incorporate some steps here and there. The ones in my Grandpa's farm were all built over 70 years ago with stones taken from the nearby river, still standing today. Anyway your project is amazing and very inspiring!

This is so inspiring. I've been looking for a huge land space to do this but i see you have so many different variety of plants and trees on a 1/2 acre of land. What?!! So amazing. Thank you for doing this. And your children will benefit from the education and the organic foods. I love love love this!!!

Nice work. I'm in Riverside county doing the same thing on my 2.5 acres. I'm doing rare fruit trees primarily, Mulberry, ice cream bean, guavas, black and white sapote, mango, Jamaican cherry. I hope those suggestions are beneficial to you. It's amazing

I just love your style of gardening....just as it was meant to be.

Wow so beautiful! Yes I agree with you, we can fill the negatives around with playing in the dirt that God created, get grounded and grow beautiful food! Awesome video! Thanks for sharing, how u n hubby created food forest! Loved it!

This is sooo beautiful!! You should feel really proud of yourself!! You did not only create something good and beneficial and healing for yourself but you helped the whole earth and environment at the same time and your plantings will bless many many generations to come!! 🧡✨🕊️🌸🙏🏼💐

Aren’t you two clever, innovative, and amazing! Congratulations! What a fabulous result!

That you did it on a hill is the most impressive! You saw a space and conquered it! One patch at a time!

This is so encouraging! I'd begun to feel almost crazy as my garage and driveway become overrun with bags of dirt, rocks, and mulch. It's felt as though I was crazy for even starting something so ridiculously huge that I and no one I know has ever done. Thank you for the reminder that it's possible!

This is so inspiring. I also have a property on a very steep hill with similar rocky soil. I have started a small garden bed that I wish to expand on, but it is a slow process. So nice to see that you have transformed this impractical space into something so productive and full of life. Well done. 👍💗

So inspiring! I started my little food forest last year. Your garden is GOALS!

The most satisfying thing to me is watch your kids eat the plants you grew. I never say don’t eat them. We’ll grow more if we don’t have enough.

Well done! - the modern 'appreciation' of real quality life of the old ways for healthy, happy family. God Bless.

Well, that is great and fun and you are teaching your kids a lot too! Blessings to you!

You are awe inspiring. The progress of your food forest is simply amazing.

Marvelous! ~ You and yours, took eye-sore and/or wild-grown & neglected land, and through much hard-work and loving care, turned it into, well, "A Food Forest" planted by hand. ~ Happy growing!

I really enjoyed your video. Southern California is blessed with such a superb climate that supports all these different fruit bearing plants.

Amazing! This is the only thing that makes me want to live in CA. I love the variety of produce you can grow!

Oh my goodness!!! What a blessing and pure awesomeness !!! Truly amazing!! We were just blessed with lots of land and this is my dream !!! congratulations and magnificent work ! With love from NC☺️

Yes, I found your video fascinating as I live in Brazil and the Brazilian Grape Tree is called a Jabuticaba tree in Brazil. And a friend of mine told me that this tree is only native to Brazil, so your growing it there will spread this fruit to other regions in the world. God bless you and continue the good work. You are blessed as you own a property in California and so you must consider yourselves privileged. There are so many people who become homeless because they can't pay their rent.

Inspirational and beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your food forest. God bless you and your family 👪 🙏 ❤

Love this! My husband and I are on the same track 🥰 Thanks for sharing 🤗 Love the inspiration 🥰

Beeeeeautiful garden! Your hard work has paid off and all the best for the future !

WOW that is so beautiful and fabulous! thank you for sharing your lovely garden and family with us! Truly Amazing, so inspirational!

I mean I can feel the joy and love put into this land you guys call home!What a blessing

So cool and inspiring! Great job. I would definitely like to see more :)

Holy shit this is so beautiful, this video really brought tears into my eyes. I really really love it and I want to live like you and have my own food forest. Really you made my whole day, especially when you showed the before pictures, it shows how much potential there is!

I haven't even watched your video yet but based on your tagline alone, I wanted to let you know that I also established my food forest during the pandemic. Although I started my project before the pandemic hit, the value of food self-sufficiency became abundantly😅 apparent only after the pandemic hit. I now have about 50 fruit trees in my tiny garden, and grow the great majority of my vegetables.

I am making a food forest in my garden. This beautiful video was so inspiring and wonderful. Bless you! Thank you. 🙏💜💫🪴🐝

Absolutely loved this! Your garden is stunning and you have such a beautiful family! Sending love! 🙏🏻💞

This is astounding! Thanks for sharing!

I could listen to this for hours on ending, we thank God for his bountiful provisions and for sure he will turn our mourning into dancing!!

Thank you for sharing. What you guys have done is just amazing. What a blessing for your family plus you bless others. Being in Ohio, most of what you've done is not available to us without lots of building. Great job.

Gorgeous garden! I am loving my own yard but Alberta Canada just doesn’t give us as many tropical fruit growing ops… so a few berry bushes and fruit trees are a happy alternative. Thanks for sharing its growth so nice to look at!

This is amazing. Please post more of these videos.

Good for you guys, so blessed to have the weather for it. Prayers and blessings.

This would be a dream to have. I’m glad you shared this and I would love to see more videos on it. My parents are from the Dominican Republic and so this is what I imagine for myself just like there. With that being said, there’s root vegetables like cassava and plantains also moringa that you can add and eat. Or maybe the cocoa tree. I would definitely look into getting some chickens if permitted in your area. But you have done an awesome job so far.

We've been slowly doing the same thing too. It's a constant work in progress! Hope to see another video giving us an update on how your food forest goes.

I’m in the process of doing this very thing up in Redding, CA. And yea, all that you said about this project being so healing and hopeful in a time of fear and loneliness is right on. There’s something so magical about planting and planning food. Would love to see and learn more! We do get snow here so I think the mangoes are out. My ice cream bananas are doing much better than our cavendish ones… I’ll plant the avocados (little cado and zutano) and hope they make it. I’m tired of carting them back and forth each summer and winter to the greenhouse. 😆 Details like what zone you’re in and irrigation, direction of your yard, etc, I’d love to hear! Thanks for posting.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing! I always feel the most satiated and grateful after a long day of hard work in the garden, it's like pure joy for me...🌱

Mediterranean climate is so great for growing food, you get a lot of the best of both temperate and tropical

I think when your garden develops. You will find the micrclimate will change and plants you couldn't grow before will have the protection to grow.

OMG! I am so in love with your garden. Enjoy the fruits of your labour with your family.

❤️💕 Food forests are soo lovely. So resourceful rewarding and beautiful. Well done x

Wooow, I saw your garden before in videos, it really looks different!!

I enjoyed watching your video, I am in the process if trying to start gardening, so far I have killed 2 Basils, 3 pepper trees, an eggplant and an Onion plant .. trying not to get discouraged, looking at what you and your husband was able to do has inspired me to not give up. Can you tell me what you used to keep oest and fungus away because that has been my biggest problem. I am from the Caribbean by the way.😊

I love everything about what you have shared, centered around the family and environment. You are blessed and thank you for sharing that blessing with us.

Extremely inspiring and looks like something fun and outdoorsy for the whole family to partake even the little ones which is great.
