- In this video we visit my friend Alex who has planted over 2 kilometres of fruit trees. The best thing about what Alex has achieved is she has done it without irrigation, without large machinery and without using any artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Alex has also propagated and grown most of the trees from cuttings and seed she planted herself. Where Alex lives in Northern NSW, Australia, the area has a variable climate and can get floods, frosts, drought, and searing heat in the summer months. Everything Alex has planted is super tough and resilient and suited to the local climate and conditions. Alex has also started a RUclips channel titled, Dreams of Green, where she shares her experience and learnings with others wanting to do the same.

Love the moment the vision came on the ocean under the stars 🙂
Thanks Weedy! Alex 💚🌿
She is very practical, I enjoyed her mental process, specially the bio mimic part. Again love how practical and non complicated she is, kudos.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Alex 💚🌿
good stuff
Smashing it Alex!🌱
Cheers Robbo!! 💚🌿
Love it, great to see this case study of your property Alex.
Thanks Tanya! Hopefully one day we’ll have a beautiful forest like yours. Alex 💚🌿
Hi, I really enjoyed Alex’s videos as I do some rainforest propagation and am about to plant an orchard/food forest. I hope all is well at her place and that she feels happy to make more videos. Even just a random wander around their farm and the forest would be nice. Please let her know we miss her.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words 💚 I’m so thrilled you’re about to plant out your food forest! And yes, it’s time for an update. The tree growth here has been phenomenal, it’s so rewarding watching the property transform. Happy planting!! Alex 🌱🌿🌳
Just sub'd. Love it. Thanks for being you.❤❤❤❤🎉
Fantastic story on Alex! She is such an inspiration. In fact, finding Alex's RUclips channel inspired me to plant my own food forest, which I recently did over Easter. Thank you Alex, you are amazing and truly inspirational 💚🍀💚
Thank you Sharon! I’m so impressed with what you’ve done and can’t wait to see the progress! 👏💚🌿
That is awesome!
oooooooh, nice! I subscribed to Alex's channel and wondered what happened, as there wasn't a new video for quite some time now. Good to see, that all seems to be well! :)
So sorry I haven’t posted for a while Martina! Hope you’re well and an update coming soon.. Alex 💚🌿
Me too
Good onya Alex.
Havent seen you on here for ages.
I have some silky oaks growing well here if you want a few
Thanks Bernie! Let you know next time I’m out your way. Alex 💚🌿
I love Northern Rivers
Great work Andrew! I love this video. its so good getting to know a little more about Alex. I got hooked on her channel when i saw the video on creating a food forest with no swales or irrigation. I'm also on ten acres with no swales or irrigation and i found this video so inspiring! Alex you have such a relaxed peaceful energy and you have been so lovely to learn from. Very happy i came across Dreams of Green and Syntropic Pantry!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment 🙏💚🌿
Me and my partner have just started planting 3ac in popanyining western Australia it's been a dry year .. growing seedlings to plant is great way to build connection with the plants
Absolutely. And then you have everything ready to go and can time your plantings with the rains. Best wishes for planting your new forest, Alex 🪴💚🌿
Thanks for sharing your work, Alex! Its very inspiring.
Thanks so much, it’s such a joy watching the paddocks transform. Alex 💚🌿
Nice to get an update from Alex. I hope she keeps uploading videos on her own channel!
Me too!
Thanks so much, yes I’m well overdue. Time for an update, things have grown so much! Alex 💚🌿
Thank you, love your story.
Thanks for watching!
Great story. Well done😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks!
Wonderful! Thanks Alex, so inspiring :) Do you have fingerlimes - native to your area? I didn't notice any mention of them. And Kyogle's good for blueberries, yes?
Thank you so much! I’ve just started planting out finger limes these past few weeks. I think they’ll be a great addition to the food forest, and I’ve noticed on other properties how the little finches live nesting in them too. We’ve had great success growing all different varieties of blueberries in pots. That way we extend the harvest with different varieties and have easy access to them in the backyard. I can also keep the soil more acidic for them to thrive. Alex 💚🌿
@@dreamsofgreen Thanks for getting back to me Alex (I think you are a friend of my niece Prilly 😊) I grow finger limes on our verandah in Canberra as I know they don't like the frost. Our plant is about 20 years old and came from that extraordinary fruit nursery in Kyogle, prior to the craze. (Or near Kyogle?) After years of losing blueberries in the garden, I now only have a large pot. And I think I will stick to growing in the pot. We get a fabulous crop, I can feed prolifically and water lots. Plus, it's easy to cover a pot with bird net, otherwise I know we'd lose them all. The autumn colour is beautiful so it's nice to have the big pot near our main door. 🦋🦋
Lovely video! What is that green wrinkly fruit at 12:54?
Kaffir lime. Amazing in Thai cooking, the leaves and rind are both used 💚🌿
