Monty Don
While Jackie & I have always loved everything about nature growing up, one of our first combined planned projects came about after the inspiration from watching Monty Don in all of his glorious formats. His calm demeanor makes him very easy to watch and he does a great job of sharing his joy, curiosity, extensive knowledge across to his viewers.

Asia Suler
We have both been deeply inspired by Asia Suler and her connection with nature after discovering her book Mirrors in the Earth a few years ago. Jackie has since taken many of her classes, leading us both to discover the power of flower essences and deep connection with plants and nature overall. She has helped inspire us to trust our intuition and the spirit guides that are with us all the time.
You can find more information on her book and courses are available here - https://asiasuler.com/
Joe Hollis :: Mountain Gardens
Joe was instrumental as one of our first real inspirations to open the floodgates of possibility for our very hilly and mostly wooded property. He was a shining example that not only was it possible but our land was actually much better suited than the open flat land often seen being cultivated for many varieties of rare medicinal herbs we grow. Unfortunately Joe has since passed but his garden and legacy are being carried on. The second video also served as our introduction to Peter Santenello who we continue to enjoy watching. He continues to showcase amazing places and fascinating people he meets along the way.
There is also a great documentary on Mountain Gardens called "Paradise". More information is available here - https://www.mountaingardensherbs.com/paradise-film
Jeremy Clarkson
I originally started watching Jermey in Top Gear at least 15 years ago and have watched every one of Jeremy's other car and history documentaries over the years and of course Jackie got hooked quickly as well after we met. While we find him deeply entertaining, we never would have guessed he would once day become not just a farmer but one of the biggest allies to farmers... in the world. He candidly shares the triumphs and tribulations on his farm featuring an ever expanding splendid cast of characters. If you eat food, this is a must watch!
Pearl Fryer
Most recently we saw a thumbnail for My Name is Pearl and had to watch and were immediately sucked in. It is a tremendously inspiring story about a wonderfully creative person with unstoppable drive and resourcefulness. It was incredible to see his journey "cutting bushes" elevate the landscapes of his neighborhood, town center, local businesses and even colleges. Unfortunately Pearl is no longer with us but it seems like his garden in
Zac Galifianakis
Another recent watch was the hilarious Zach Galifianakis' take on gardening. It was great to see real small working farms in all their glorious disarray and also see him reaching out to countless kids across the series, planting a seed for the next generations if you will pardon the pun...
Thanks for choosing to spend your time here and we hope you are equally as inspired!
