  "I haven't done anything at all. I've just stopped interfering..." Words to live by.

  My favorite part is that he goes out at night and plants things on the sides of the road 😂

  “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 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.

  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!

  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).

  Walking on weeds, rather than using blades, weedwhackers or herbicides, is such a simple, effective and non-toxic idea. I LOVE IT!

  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!!

  It's such a joy to watch Robyn. She seems like a butterfly herself. So happy with her lifestyle and garden.
