My neighbors trees and garden are well established, and it is remarkable how much cooler their yard stays. It's very noticeable when walking past their house. Can't wait for our yard to flourish like this.

Hello. Moringa (Malunggay --we call it in the Philippines) trees are very nutritional to our body especially to pregnant women. We use the leaves in soups and fed to pregnant women to helps in lactating (breast milk). Thanks for sharing this video...I"m so in love with this garden full of fruit trees. I miss our back garden in the Philippines.

Watching this in 2020 and the part about "food starting to get scarce in the future" hits real hard.

I don't understand why every homeowner does not have a food garden for a yard🌈💕

I thought I would avoid the southwest because of drought, but after seeing John Kohler's and Jake Mace's yards I might reconsider. I would especially like to be one of their neighbors, so we could expand the wealth of the community.

I just found this channel and love it. I live in the high desert in Central Oregon, not an area that many desert gardeners talk about. It does freeze in the winter, but hot and arid in summer.

All of his fruit trees are fruiting, it could only my dream

Maringa it’s medicine, they are so good for your health, wow those beautiful trees of Meringa look so thriving

Thanks for including the Goji berries. Just a note to share: while the five-flavored adaptogenic berries are what most people grow this for, the leaves are edible and quite delicious both raw and cooked. I enjoy getting a second crop from mine.
