I just got a 50 acres of erotioned land in the east side of Guatemala, my Main goal is to fix and make that place a Paradise, by my example the surrounding communitys Will start doing the same. I belive we can change these world for the better step by step. Cheers from Momostenango Guatemala.
“My philosophy in life about what to do in the world isn’t to go to a pristine area and live there and enjoy your life; it’s to find a place that’s degraded and fix it up” - Robert Guyton. Love that philosophy. We need more Roberts in the world. Thanks for the amazing video.
I loved that quote so much that I just had to put it at the beginning! Hopefully this film will inspire a few more Roberts and Robyns. Glad you liked it Justin :)
dumatwo Yes actually. Any yard or land not covered in concrete could be changed to be this way. That's the point. Get rid of so much grassy lawns and plant like they have. From tall trees for shade on down... Imagine - ugly neighborhoods. Areas of urban blight. Old Supermarkets that have been closed - could become forests that create clean air, cool in heat, warm in cold, bring food, and have songbirds etc. As well as lots of fresh organic fruit, vegtables, spices, herbs (you can even make hot and cold herbal drinks from those.) But we need to look at land that way
The good news is, degraded lands are usually the most affordable. With good reason. The property in central Ontario Canada that my wife and I bought in 1984 was identified as a gravel pit on one topographical map. It was actually 32 acres of degraded farm land further destroyed by humans with destructive habits, toys and machines. Almost no trees and no wild life. It was essentially a man made desert. We bought it cheap and have for over 30 years worked hard to bring it back to a state of natural health. Now we live in a paradise with trees gardens and wildlife all on the edge of a city surrounded by agricultural deserts. There is still plenty of work to do as there can only do so much one can do in a life time. The key is to do whatever you can to make where you are better in whatever way you can. Plant trees, practice good land stewardship and be patient.
I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear from others who are allowing some "wildness" into their yards. I'm doing the same in the suburbs and it's not always appreciated by everyone and it can feel lonely to be so different.
same, everyone out here in the suburbs has the mentality that all they need is a green lawn in the yards. They don't know about all the types of plants and trees that they could get to make their plot of land look more appealing and healthy. People out here have so little care for their outdoor living that in the bay area of california, an average yard is literally the size of a narrow alley, people don't know what they are missing.
Thank You ... All who are responsible for this video and it being here. This is how my late husband Rick wanted us to live ... along with solar and hydro power. We had 9 acres, had been a fruit orchard at one time so still had some fruit trees there when we came along. We only had 6 1/2 years there before he died but he at least died while working toward this goal, he was a very content man. He would have loved this video ... this man makes me think of him ... a lot. He was such an intelligent but humble and soft spoken man, who believed with all his heart that nature knew best and we needed to learn to work with it ... he would never use pesticides or herbicides ... He lived what he preached in his Environmental Resources class he taught (he was a biologist).
This is my idea of heaven on earth. Beautiful people who truly understand how we are connected deeply to the Earth and all of her Beings. Try living without the earth, try not breathing her air or drinking her water or suspend yourself from her gravitational pull. It's not going to happen. The Earth is our home. We need her to survive and thrive. This video lifts my spirits and that couple truly are amazing people. I wish the world was filled with more like them. Namaste.
This is such an inspirational couple. Because of this video I've started to convert my grassy areas into permaculture and now I have a bird, bug, bee oasis. We've never seen this many animals on our 2.5 acres and the bird song is so magical. I shared this video with my 80+ year old friends and that has inspired them to do the same. Our friends think we haven't weeded our flower beds and the weeds have taken over and we say "No, that's on purpose...it creates habitat, keeps the soil moist and feeds the bees". Thank you for producing this video and opening my eyes to alternatives to conventional gardening. LOVE IT!!
We've been developing a forest garden for over a decade. As I was watching this video, I kept thinking, "these folks sound like they've ACTUALLY grown a forest garden". There is a stark contrast in the dialogue of someone who has just earned a permaculture certification and someone who has been "forest-gardening" for a considerable part of their life. Beautiful documentary!
Having grown up with straight sided very neat vegetable gardens, fruit trees planted in rows with lots of mowed grass underneath and my chickens confined in pens, I’m hopping it’s not to late to change as I head into my 70’s. Moving house soon looking forward to a new garden and challenge doing it the permaculture way this time, it’s never too late to learn.
I hear ya, somtimes It's clear to see it less about learning maybe more about being human and excepting it's alright to be human and allow people to be organised on thier own terms so we can all have a part of paradice and feel comfortable together
I hope it's going well--it's never too late to start! Best to learn through trying things, but if you decide you want to learn a bit via reading, I can't recommend Gaia's Garden by Toby Hemenway enough. I only started learning about permaculture in the past year, and that book is such a phenomenal resource for getting into permaculture. I read through a lot of forums at first to find book recommendations, and that one came up more than any other, and for good reason. Mollison is great as well of course, seeing as he co-founded the modern movement, but I personally found it a bit denser, so just my two cents. Anyways, sorry for rambling on, I hope you're finding some happiness in your new place :)
I have been waiting for someone who actually brought my thoughts and dreams into life...Robert you did an awesome job making it all real...you dedication and devotion to nature and not to interfere with natural way things is true way of living. It's inspiring as much as encouraging for someone who is in his journey towards same lifestyle. You sir a true inspiration.
"There are a lot of things that could depress you out in this world , but if you take that each negative act as an opportunity or provocation to do your thing, then it's a winnable game" Thank you for such motivational words. Saving the world, planting a food forest. Sometimes I just feel like I will have to do it all alone, as I am not living in a community that is enthusiastic about these ideas. Sometimes I fear failure and loneliness. But thank you from the bottom of my heart, for the words that keep my dream alive.
right there with you ❣️🍄 when i feel lonely in this dream, i think of the mycelial network.... connecting us all in unseen ways so that a few of us bloom here and there in every community (like a fairy ring of mushrooms).... slowly but surely awakening the larger whole.
It takes time and effort to create and maintain a fruit forest, plus you still have to pull weed out, prune branches, irrigate when it's very dry and keep certain animals (feral pigs) off
I began gardening in a similar manner about 6 years ago, totally unaware of this potential trend. Lets hope it's a natural revelation emerging in the human psyche. We need it.
When I moved here twenty years ago I pretty much quit mowing, put in a huge garden, and bought several fruit trees. The earth took care of making her own permaculture situation. I'm enhancing it now that I'm learning more. Thanks for this video and cheers to the community around the world.
"The Cosmos is Conscious, Consciousness is Creative, We that Know this are the Future" and these two restoration masters are definitely Conscious! ☯️☮️
Thanks so much for making this film. Robert and Robyn are true elders who show us that we are not inherently destructive-carbon-burning-Peter-Pans-who-never-want-to-grow-up, but sensible regenerators of the flowering earth, making more life possible for all life forms, generation after generation.
Really insperational ! Its exactly how i want to do it in a diffrent country. It would be an amazing benefit if this couple would write a book, kind of a manual or step to step guide. Just fantastic, i am stunned.
These people have such a beautiful garden and way of thinking about life, it really inspired me!! This way of living is truly my dream. Their forest garden kind of reminds me of the garden of eden!!
Imagine how beautiful the earth would be if everyone did this in their yards. Even in the city and suburbs. It would be stunning and sustainable. We wouldn't even have to go to the grocery store anymore.
been following the guyton's for some time, i love them and absolutely LOVE this interview. Thank you so much for sharing this gem of the permaculture world, they are silently living the dream.
I loved how you have shared your beautiful place and life, living in your magic place , that you have built fir yourselves . You can see the Happiness coming out of you . I particularly enjoyed watching you expressing yourself with your open arms , where you looked like a butterfly with extra joy , while describing what you was talking about 🦋🎊. Thank you 🙏 🎉💗
This is amazing. Honestly, the way she mentioned apple trees are as unique and worth considering as much as people gave me more empathy for people - I need to be as forgiving and encouraging as I am in my garden, real talk
Thank you happen films, your videos changed my life and gives me so much inspiration, I'm so grateful and happy that peaple who respect nature stil exist
You are AWESOME! Best UA-cam clip ever made. The light and love you are shining into our beautiful world is delicious. Much love and respect for you both.
Whenever Robyn would be on ....I could not help but smile...she's infectious....the insects and the birds and the insects and the birds and the .....insects ....birds.
I'm so grateful for the time I spent with these two in their beautiful forest garden in December last year :) Such a beautifully shot and well told piece, well done :)
this documentary delighted my heart because in a difficult world of today it's so so good to see and know that there are people doing wonderful work for our beautiful planet!
What a wonderful video. I have been doing permaculture for over a year now, and my wife and I love it. We have a pretty small property, but it is about 1/3 permaculture and producing nicely. One day, we will buy some acres and do it on a larger scale. True peace is found in nature.
That's a fine looking forest they've got there. Not much of an environmentalist in the same sense that I think this crowd is, but I can absolutely respect the way these people live.
I love Robert's comments at the end about it being a winnable game if you focus on what you can do to rebalance the world and bring a diversity of life into it. I love the idea of a forest garden and hope to emulate their example on a smaller scale someday.
These are the most inspirational Videos. The New Earth which is being created by those who heed the call. I never tire of watching these Videos. I’m in the very early stages of collecting my seeds and Plants and enjoy learning from those who have gone before us. Thankyou for taking the time to film and set up an educational and inspirational channel. 🙏🏻
During corona quarantine.. i replant a lot of veggies, root, ryzome, bananas.... now after starting working back, whenever i came home, i will go to check on my plant and greet them for about 15 to 20 minutes.... It's calming to me...idk... I love it to see them grow
Absolutely stunning. my husband and i LOVE how beautiful you two make your life and home one. peopke dont take the time anymore to LOVE WELL. YOU TWO ARE AN INSPIRATION. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORLD
I love both of you and everything you do i have watched this video so many times its so amazingly beautiful and informative thank you i love permaculture gardening!!!
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself" -Leo Tolstoy This couple changed themselves, and it had wonderful results for the portion of the world that surrounds them. I wish them a beautiful life, but they don't need my wishes as they have made their lives beautiful all in their own...
Thank you very much for this documentary film. I started to build my own permaculture food forest a few years ago in Korea. I am building it very slowly and with small size step according to my condition. I am also very happy to see and enjoy the future of my forest like Guyton's.^^♡
this has impacted me in the deepest way. i first saw it 1 year ago and a 1 year later i realize how consciously an unconsciously i have been employing these wild labor saving unifying principles. awesome permaculture perspectives.
Absolutely incredible but I want to mention.... The gentleman’s beard is the perfect length and density that it looks like his head is floating most of the time and I can’t unsee it! Amazing! 🙃
Love your video! Without too much human interference my little foodforest gradually begins to look like your paradise. Hope to live long enough to watch the process of changes nature decides to make. For now enjoying every minute of this transformation......
This is a pleasant and non stressful life. Trees and plants along with flowers is beautiful when grown properly so they can thrive and you can walk around and enjoy them. If I owned a home and some land I would do this.
Mobile al here. Mild food forest started in the burbs...city came and at first said “ your yard should look like your neighbors”. One has half a row of shrubs by the front door, one has grass and an oak tree, one has a chain length fence to keep the pit bulls contained with in the dust holes they have dug. Once she learned about all the butterflies and bees and hummers...also no turtles and rabbits...she got interested and she came back with her big girl camera. Now I am eating blackberries and loquats in April until the lychee and blueberries, peaches, plums, figs, mornings, pears, apples, lemons, limes persimmon...yep. The neighbors were curious but no one complains now.🙊
this guy is completely on the right track! A complete holistic permaculture system with little intervention beyond the placing and planting. Pleasure to see.
I just got a 50 acres of erotioned land in the east side of Guatemala, my Main goal is to fix and make that place a Paradise, by my example the surrounding communitys Will start doing the same. I belive we can change these world for the better step by step. Cheers from Momostenango Guatemala.

Greetings from Argentina
Walking on weeds, rather than using blades, weedwhackers or herbicides, is such a simple, effective and non-toxic idea. I LOVE IT!
Yeah, until you step on a venomous snake. Best wear some cowboy boots if they're around.
Snakes go away if you make noise
@@elloohno1349 tell that to a cotton mouth. Most bites occur due to people stepping on or too close to snakes. Some snakes rely on their camouflage.
@@CriticalThinker27 no snakes in New Zealand

Oops Robyn's love for her apple trees. Roberts' philosophical words are what inspired me the most.

It looks a million times better than a lawn. and is less work to maintain.
We're talking about the beard, right?
Robert Earnshaw 🤣
too bad you would probably get fined for that.
It takes time and effort to create and maintain a fruit forest, plus you still have to pull weed out, prune branches, irrigate when it's very dry and keep certain animals (feral pigs) off
Less work to maintain? Not likely but that doesn't stop me I look forward to landscaping 'work' in my yard.

absolutely inspiring.
This is my favourite of all permaculture forrest these 2 guys are so humbled by nature is amazing to watch
this is true meaning of gardening: shaping the nature while being a part of it and by this entering a state of relationship.

do you need an intern?
how long did the whole process take? In order for it to be natural. What do you first lay down to create the ecosystem WILD?
It's mimicking nature. Think in layers, like an eco-system. Search on google for "permaculture".
Be well.

I’m in the very early stages of collecting my seeds and Plants and enjoy learning from those who have gone before us. Thankyou for taking the time to film and set up an educational and inspirational channel. 🙏🏻
one of the bes examples of the permaculture mindset i've seen. thanks for your hard work Happen Films, it's greatly appreciated
Cheers Ricky!
What a lovely couple and what a beautiful forest they maintain.
I want to have this on my wall playing on repeat
During corona quarantine.. i replant a lot of veggies, root, ryzome, bananas.... now after starting working back, whenever i came home, i will go to check on my plant and greet them for about 15 to 20 minutes.... It's calming to me...idk... I love it to see them grow

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself"
-Leo Tolstoy
This couple changed themselves, and it had wonderful results for the portion of the world that surrounds them. I wish them a beautiful life, but they don't need my wishes as they have made their lives beautiful all in their own...
Thank you for make this world a better place.
Thank you very much for this documentary film. I started to build my own permaculture food forest a few years ago in Korea.
I am building it very slowly and with small size step according to my condition.
I am also very happy to see and enjoy the future of my forest like Guyton's.^^♡
the loveliest gardens do not show the hand of man ! this is a perfect example ! a gift to the entire world !
thank you so much for making this, we enjoy them so much!
That's great to hear! It makes all the work worth it :)
Only one thing, try to make more please
Donate and they could probably make more. If each of us viewers donated 10 cents that'd be 20k. If each of us gave $1 that's 200k!
Powerful leaders from Southland, thank you for sharing your garden and your wisdom.
This is amazing.... I've been working on a permaculture model for the past four years.... I am super inspired. xoxo
Great face for sane and kind normal people who like perma living. Great well spoken people who themselves are fruitful and kind people.
Man the time and devotion must be countless.
Keys879 -I smile because I notice you didn't call it work. 😀
It's an everyday, every hour devotion, indeed
Since becoming a farmer I hardly work at all but im out about doing stuff all the time.
Enjoy it so much not like work at all.
there's still weeding.......
Its love :)
Mrs. Guyton's joy is telling. Kudos to these awesome people🥂
this has impacted me in the deepest way. i first saw it 1 year ago and a 1 year later i realize how consciously an unconsciously i have been employing these wild labor saving unifying principles. awesome permaculture perspectives.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful enterprise for wildness... and harmony and balance
Bio-diversity and environmental productivity are related, this has stuck with me since resource management in community college! Live it, please!
Absolutely incredible but I want to mention.... The gentleman’s beard is the perfect length and density that it looks like his head is floating most of the time and I can’t unsee it! Amazing! 🙃
I love how healthy they both look! Thanks for sharing this with us. :)
This kind of living would feed my soul. So inspiring. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for this awesome episode!
Love your video! Without too much human interference my little foodforest gradually begins to look like your paradise. Hope to live long enough to watch the process of changes nature decides to make. For now enjoying every minute of this transformation......
Good on you! What comes from the forest garden can't be fully predicted at the early stages...
This man is my spirit animal. I wish more people had his philosophy.
This is a pleasant and non stressful life. Trees and plants along with flowers is beautiful when grown properly so they can thrive and you can walk around and enjoy them. If I owned a home and some land I would do this.
Mobile al here. Mild food forest started in the burbs...city came and at first said “ your yard should look like your neighbors”. One has half a row of shrubs by the front door, one has grass and an oak tree, one has a chain length fence to keep the pit bulls contained with in the dust holes they have dug. Once she learned about all the butterflies and bees and hummers...also no turtles and rabbits...she got interested and she came back with her big girl camera. Now I am eating blackberries and loquats in April until the lychee and blueberries, peaches, plums, figs, mornings, pears, apples, lemons, limes persimmon...yep. The neighbors were curious but no one complains now.🙊
this guy is completely on the right track! A complete holistic permaculture system with little intervention beyond the placing and planting. Pleasure to see.
Great film! Very inspiringly,
I love how well spoken they are and the forest garden looks amazing, a small piece of heaven on earth
Man, people are living some interesting ways out there, good for them.
