Awe-Inspiring Permaculture Paradise Growing Food, Flowers, & Nature!

For those curious about L.A.B.s that she mentions when discussing her compost, it's lactobacillus. This bacteria helps to accelerate composting, but is also a bacteria found in probiotics and even our gut health.

This is a great addition to the soil! Lots of videos here on YT about how to make your own.

[@chelseasremedy]

i've watched this video so many times. Peni is the blueprint

[@lucypeace6132]

I finished watching it 15 minutes ago and immediately started again from the beginning. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful video. Peni's whole demeanor is very calm and comforting.

[@markd.9042]

Permaculture is the way we heal the Earth and ourselves.

[@ohio_gardener]

My favorite part of the video is the part about saving seed and using seed which are native to the area. Rather than importing hybrid seed from China, grow local seeds that are native to the environment. Each generation of seed becomes stronger for the local area.

[@marking-time-gardens]

Absolutely! I am thankful for those who have already been searching for and restoring our availability to many of our native seeds here in the U.S. before they are all lost. It behooves us to carry on that work in our own local areas and gardens for our future generations. Blessings on your day Sir! 🌻🐛

[@zoewhite7705]

Who imports seeds from China? I didn’t know that was a thing.

[@marking-time-gardens]

@@zoewhite7705 many of the large commercial seed companies import seeds from China so there is no way of knowing what zone or climate conditions they were grown in, or how the seeds were processed, etc. (regulations/standards are different there). Seeds that are sourced locally (or as close as possible) to our own growing area have a better chance of quality growth and better performance because they were grown here.

I love the way you interview, no spoken words from you. You just hear them talk. Just beautiful ❤️

Peni is one of the most interesting people I've had the chance to meet in my life ❤ A beautiful soil lover 🍀

[@lucypeace6132]

There is a woman on here, Anneofalltrades, who is just as obsessive about her soil. She's in Tennesse, but she's changed my whole allotment plan when we get it next year.

Oh my goodness...I loved this SO much! So beautifully photographed too. Just gorgeous. I would love to see more of Peni and her beautiful property. Thanks so much Huw! 🙏

My past 30 years embodied. I am so happy to see this prime example of sanity on earth; stewarding Nature, aligning with Permaculture ethics and principles, and look at the beauty, abundance, diversity, and resilience. Very well done. I am moving to The UK, and look forward to co-creating this kind of Haven of Reality! I am a Regenerative Farming Community Designer, and Permaculturist Singer Songwriter.

Peni‘s story is incredibly well filmed and told. Thank you so much for the work Huw, it means a lot to see such amazing gardens and hear the wise words!!

[@christinaw2736]

WOW! What a beautifully captured garden film! And so much incredible information, thank you Huw and Peni!

Our pleasure!

[@dalepres1]

I watched this as video #17 in a 23 video playlist. I've watched every single video before this, and 6 more to go. Mostly, while interesting, they've all been a disappointment from a permaculture perspective. The videos, including this one, make a claim to permaculture because they have trees and then they have annual vegetables and flowers in neat little rows or raised beds. They're good gardening videos (and the title of the playlist is "Inspiring Gardens" and not "Inspiring permaculture food forests" so they do deliver on the promise of the title. But this video, far and away beyond the 16 videos I've watched previous, is the most inspiring garden and garden story. Several others have been inspiring but the honest emotion and conviction in Peni's voice and story is truly inspiring. Anyone who sees this and does not plant a seed does not have a heart - and we all have hearts. The only two true permaculture gardens I have seen on KZbin are Rick Austin's survivalist garden at kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpSqm2RrbLF6nqM and the forest garden of Robyn and Robert (no last name listed) at kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5XMkGylbpeLmbc. Virtually everything else I've seen is simply trees and a conventional garden.

[@alexesdohr6485]

Stunning. Fabulous woman and her amazing creation. The world needs more humans like this.

[@yellowfrogcommunity]

What an absolutely beautiful garden! Thank you so much for showing us Huw!

[@nomathembazwedala7704]

Ideas like these come very handy when you don't have money to buy all these fertilizers. I learn a lot from these talks and practice some of them and they work for me. Thanks.

[@tonyawiley9575]

If we, as the gardening/permaculture community could ever make realized the connection between the earth that we've been entrusted to steward and the Creator, God that has placed that responsibility on our hearts, oh, how we could change the world!

[@ellendeister3304]

Danke!

[@corymiller9854]

I have been collecting my seeds for a few years. The seeds of your own garden are more equipped for the challenges of your area. There parent have given them the necessary skills and genome for success in your exact location. The nutrient density of the seed depends on the area it was grown in as well. These things make your own seeds better every year you produce them instead of worse every year with bad practices.

[@hilly2777]

Dear Huw, I get just as excited as everyone else when you showcase another inspiring garden. The camerawork is stunning, as always, and there is a nice flow. However, I feel that the music in the background throughout the entire video is often distracting and in this particular video it is on a par with Peni's narrative. It would be much more enjoyable and easier to hear what she has to say if the music was either much quieter (background) or only there to open and close the video. I've been meaning to suggest this for while, so today's the day (lol). Keep up your fantastic work and happy new year to you! Greetings from your fans in Stuttgart, Germany

[@heatherkirkup6391]

What a beautiful video, Huw! The filming is terrific, and Peni is amongst the nicest people I’ve ever listened to. There is a spiritual bond between her and her little patch of earth. Thank you 💚💚💚

I agree with what you said about saving your own seeds,I've recently started to do this and it is so satisfying to watch your produce grow from the seeds that you have produced, they grow better as they 'know' the soil that they came from, you are keeping the vegetables pure from contamination and its free.

[@marking-time-gardens]

@@HuwRichards Could there be a creative way/process for them to reach out to you? Maybe a special web sight with an "outline to follow" to enter their information as to why their garden project may be interesting to interview? With the understanding that it is not possible to choose them all but through process and interview have sufficient season to season. For me personally your teaching is the "grand banquet" and these videos are the "sweet dessert". Blessings on your day Kiddo !🥰🌻🐛
