Green Dreams! Love Pete and his dream for Florida landscaping. We are helping his business thrive!😉

Here in Michigan we have major hospitals that have their own food gardens on premises.

This is sooo cool! What a great idea having this subject with Pete for an interview. Thank you all!!!!🙏🏽

[@LukaStomp]

Pete is one of my biggest green thumb people inspirations here in and as a Floridian

Bought plants from Pete to get going around 2018. Great operations

[@milkweeddreams8828]

Finding Pete was huge for me when first moving to central Florida, now living in N Florida, I'm trying to conquer and adjust to colder climes...I'm still babying the papaya and moringa plants I got from Green Dreams. My yard now completely covered in free mulch, I am free from mowing, my perimeter surrounded in varieties of banana sporting 18 banana racks that I am now chopping and dropping for more soil build-up for a yard that is prone to flooding...I too was motivated by Alex Jones, afraid, it was time to sustain my hope in permiculture and organic gardening...Pete's struggles are worth the efforts to spread the words, as well as Jim's...I totally miss Echo shopping, their plants were amazing...and my bamboo from there are thriving...I always remember to POUND DIRT...thanks kids...!!!

❤ I’m going to hire Pete one day to create/put in a wonderful food forest/market garden. In Jesus name.

[@kentuckysurvival]

Excellent interview. It's great to be a fly on the wall during your conversation. My takeaway from it is nothing comes by accident and anything of value comes from hard consistent work. Nice job.

[@danielcurtis1134]

Thank you so much for posting this video. Very inspiring. Appreciate it.

[@ArsasSternenkatze]

So interresting to hear more about petes journey

[@legalyzeit]

on the subject of mulch. i have learned to use multiple sources, mainly creating compost from grass and other sources similar to Charles Downing, using neigborhood leaves and chop n drop since wood chips are hard to come by sometimes. we even put small brush and logs directly into our food forest to break down when necessary. Great video!

[@nightlee11]

Now I’m watching this one!? Thanks for dropping some long interviews with people we already love

[@garysilver718]

I was a child during early 40s WW 2 . Everyone in the neighborhood had victory gardens.

[@Alex_Riddles]

I was a teenager in the 1970's. When the price of oil spiked and set off inflation, there were backyard gardens again.

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

Oh!!! Super excited to watch this one!

[@nomada503]

Pete seems like a great guy.

[@clint4472]

Loved this conversation with Pete & Mel!! I started following him when y'all visited him on the GAFT, when he took your YT challenge. His stuff is amazing. He's pounding that dirt into soil.

[@charleeghee7195]

I was hoping for information on how I could start a bit of edible landscaping. As far of their consulting fees or $150 an hour to chat on the phone - YIKES. 😯 The majority of people like myself couldn't possibly afford their fees although we try our best to improve our world in gardening our own food. With what is coming at us we all need to be growing as much food as we can.

[@mikehunte398]

Have you ever seen him install anything in a poor neighborhood? Lol, no.

[@adamschaafsma5839]

That's where I saw Nick before! I thought I had seen him on one of Pete's videos when I found his Growing Back to Eden channel years later.

[@rough1sm]

Pete--great to see you with your partner. I found you at the beginning of Covid, your videos helped me feel happier. First ones I watched were from Costa Rica . Hope you go back there and make more. Love that diversity of tropical growth. Native Floridian, lifelong grower, I'm the proud owner of 4 varieties of carambola, and much more, thanks to your amazing nursery selection--they ALL produced fruit this year. Hope to drive down for another plant order in the spring. Thanks for all the wonderful visits you've made to other growers homes and properties, I've enjoyed hearing from people who also appreciate the Beauty of plant possibilities in Florida, not just a cut and dried 'how can I get 5 more feet of Production from this land?' . Rebecca, the economy is NOT tanking, it's Thriving. That's a very tired propaganda you repeat. Justin, you are so mercenary, try imagining not everything Green Dreams does is only about generating personal profit. As Pete tried to convey several times, the people they work with are not just expendable drones to be added and subtracted willy-nilly. You could benefit from more generosity of spirit.

The sad thing is look at what they are selling you at the stores most have gmo in them

[@an67481]

The lighting on the the Salatin interview was top top. You should use that yellow lighting more ❤

[@beccalovesjesus1009]

Great interview!

[@my88sweetdreams]

Awesome information‼️ Thanks 🙏

[@y.s.warren3706]

🥰

[@mattspencer9538]

This is great! I'm so glad to see that other people see "conservative" media, like Alex Jones, for what it really is. It spreads fear but offers no remedy! Not worth watching. Better off reading or watching videos like this where we can actually learn how to take better care of ourselves.
