My partner and I (and our little boy of 2) are currently in the process of moving into a new property that is as equally challenging as how you describe yours (maybe more). It's a property that has been abandoned for years as well as it's surroundings, because people don't see any potential in it. For months, I struggled with the thought of "am I making the right decision here?" There's so much work ahead of us to get this property to a state that we envision. But now I'm slowly letting go of the doubts and focusing more on what I can do to push this dream forward. And discovering your channel is such a perfect timing!
Thank you, for sharing your dreams, your art, your journey. I am truly humbled by this project. Thank you for inspiring me to never give up, and make my dreams come to form in this world.
the way your spirituality/ beliefs/ whatever you want to call it spills into everything you do😍 your focus is unwavering and the deeper understanding you seem to find in everything is so refreshing!
So beautiful and inspiring! Looks like paradise to me. I know how much labour, thought and experience it has taken for you both to create this oasis of natural beauty. Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Look forward to more videos.
Thank you so much for this uplifting and thought-provoking video, Erin! I'm enjoying working my way through the collection of videos on your channel. I really enjoy your vibe! You're doing so many of the things I enjoy in my garden, right down to meditating there, and building from natural materials! For once, youtube recommended a video that really suits my interests! 🙂 I too established a garden a few years ago, on a patch of sandy soil, with solid sandstone not far below the surface. Instead of wood chips, I used a handy natural material to add humus to the sand: horse poop. I collect it each day - a couple wheelbarrows full of horse poop each day! It makes a lot of compost, and that makes the garden thrive!
Hi! And thank you for your many wonderful comments. I’m glad RUclips has connected us and that you’re finding joy from my videos 🥰 that’s wonderful you have access to horse manure! Funny how having a garden suddenly makes you interested in easy sources of manure- but plants just love it! Also it’s a wonderful ingredient for natural building. We’re exploring creating an earthen floor- something Ive been curious about for a while and now may be a good opportunity to take the plunge. Wishing you a garden of abundance and beauty 🌿
Thank you for letting us in on the process of release and transformation you experienced as you slowly compacted those magical walls. I can feel that creative energy that is now inside them.
Love the video as always looking forward to golden Tours at some point all of my plants basically are in containers or big plant pots as I do not own the property and I do not have the most friendliest of people around me most of them don't really like garden or leaves or anything like this or appreciate nature so myself and my son have been doing things like the John Muir project and some gorilla gardening and it has been very successful the things we have planted in uninhabited pieces of ground it has not been used or even maintained have flourished naturally so we plan on doing some more and seeing just how well it goes and natural food forest is paradise for myself keep up the great work and best wishes and love from Scotland as always
I love this so much! I met a girl at a friends farm who turned the garage into a more natural space with living walls and floors like this. Earthin? It made it so there was more natural insulation during the colder winter months too. Ive been interested ever since! ❤ so glad I came across your channel. Your voice is so calming too. And I love your golden ginger hair 😁❤👩🦰💁🏽♀️
Regarding swales, have you explored the buttonbush? ( It's a native western hemisphere plant that feeds pollinators, preserves the soil with its roots, and the bark can be a mader/red dye resource. A gentleman named Gabriel Trujillo was among other scientists studying it for his PhD, before his unfortunate passing recently. Buttonbush grows near water, but is drought tolerant enough for arid places, too.) Also, native bamboos , like river cane nurture soil, as well as types from around the globe, with various beneficial uses and adaptability. These all just require responsible maintenance to keep the rhizomes where you prefer them.
Hi Your RUclips channel is very educational, therapeutic🎉 You mentioned in this video that you will share more pictures on your rain garden process, I am wondering where can I find those pictures/ updates? Thanks 😊
Im thinking a cement mixer could mix ground straw, clay etc., lol. I try to Save all the physical work i can for my poor, crippled body. Grand Blessings everyone.
I love your thoughts about releasing and about intention. These are exactly my desires as well,
What a stunning location! Beautiful garden, love the flowers, and the rolling hills near the coast look like a dream!
I love your videos, your energy and your insight. Thank you for sharing!

You make such beautiful videos. (I love your choices of music too.)

Love love love seeing your process! Your straw & pallet building is inspiring. Is there any way to get plans for your design? ❤
That was very enjoyable, I am very much enjoying your post.
Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m glad you enjoyed it 🧡
