I know i havent shared for a while but taking a breather in winter has been important to recharge my batteries for the growing season ahead and when I’m doing this i love youtube to inspire me for spring planting in our new garden 🪏

My beautiful friend Kelly shared this and I 💯 agree this is a must watch if you’re a gardener or just want to see amazing Cinematography
When I think of paradise all I can see in my mind is the most beautiful plentiful garden 🪴 with colourful birds, bugs and bees
Kelly’s words 💜🌸💜
This has to be one of the most heartwarming movies I've watched. A man with a vision to inspire people to connect with nature through his lense. Yes it's a movie about permiculture but it's about so much more. A feast for the eyes, his photography/cinematography is stunning, his curiosity and knowledge is enlightening. By far my most favorite you tube Chanel. Enjoy 💚🦋🌻
