Chantal is a real treasure to our neighborhood. She's beautiful both in and out. We are lucky to have such a gem.
I would love to live in that neighborhood!
They must either have a very creative, lenient HOA or not have any at all. Love it!
Is your neighborhood in Southern California? I ask because she was able to grow Mangos and what a delicious fruit that is! Of course, Florida can grow Mangos as well. 👏
We should all be doing this, if we are lucky enough to have a yard.
Use ur window, balcony. Whatever u have.
Thank you. I have garden. I feel the pulse when I touch the dirt. I am one with it! I feel alive. I am dust!
My home owner’s association would have a COW if we tried to have a front yard this heavily planted. But... they usually leave us alone re: the back yard. I am most impressed that after several back surgeries and in chronic pain, she is doing all of this!!!! She isn’t complaining, but she is not comfortable if she is still wearing a back brace. Bless her. She’s amazing.
@@DawnOldham She is an amazing woman.
I agree but the HOA is here to ruin everyone's fun.
we need more people like Chantal!
Our examples are appreciated
Thank YOU for sharing
Chantal, thank you for your message, I am in tears. I have had that voice for the last year. It just looks impossible!! You have inspired me. Thank you. On this 4000 square meter jungle I will just start with two squares a day!!!
Folks like you keep folks like me going. Thank you so much Chantal.
Thank God for this Lovely Lady. The World is a Better Place because she is in it.
I love the rose bush idea she came up with. Maybe one day someone will plant a rose bush in her honor.
I'm glad she found some joy.
What a truly lovely Lady.
I’m fully in tears about this aloe plant and inspired to grow food for my neighbors and inspire them to grow as well.
TY, Chantal.
TY, Rob.
making a good day, instead of just having one.
I just lost my Mother. I will plant a rose bush in her memory. Wonderful idea.
So sorry to hear. I lost my father a month ago. I am planting a small memorial garden in his memory.
What an inspirational woman! I learned gardening, history and food politics in one video. Thank you, this the encouragement I need to get started.⭐⭐⭐
Chantal is awesome. thank you!
Aww what a shining star!
If you have the passion, nothing can stop you from gardening
Chantal, that's so wonderful!
Chantal you are a blessing to this planet. I'm trying to do my part and plant as much as I can on my little 1/4 acre. I keep saying if I plant something it has to give back to me in some way and that is a healthier life with healthy foods to eat and it's just out my front door!
Grow vertical and save space to have more food.
What a lovely lady and such a beautiful garden❤️🌿🌼
Omg!!!! This is my neighbor! My girls come to this garden all the time!
We all want to know where this is. At least what zone please. Thank you.
You're so lucky!
I’m so glad your girls enjoy the garden! I’m in zone 10a, in Los Angeles, CA.
I could listen to this lady all day. I will be her when i grow up. Thanks for sharing her story, beautiful.
She is my hero. What a human she is. I salute u mam. Thankx rob for this wonderful video

Sacred Aloe! How beautiful. Thank you for sharing, what a lovely Woman you are Chantal. Vandana Shiva is a personal Hera of mine as well.
Chantal's hat is EVERYTHING! I love it! Thank you for sharing this video - her garden is amazing and I feel so inspired. I am so happy to see her talking about the work of Vandana Shiva as well. I have seen her speak at a conference and she is a powerful force for change in this world. Blessings to all x
Clair Summer, it’s my favorite! And I love my hats! So happy you approve, thank you!
The Moon Gardener how can I contact you . Greetings from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
You are an absolute beauty of a person. No fear, all heart. Thank God for you.
Don't know why but I teared up seeing this video. What an amazing lady 💗. May God bless her 🙏
Bundles of thanks to Rob Greenfield and Chantal Lemoine for sharing this inspiring video and project. How beautiful all this is and the lovely and inspiring lady! This year I will endeavour to create and provide a swap box for excess produce, and a basket of home-made jams with an honesty box at my front garden gate. I have been interested to try Biodynamics, but watching this has encouraged me to go ahead and do it! :-D
I can relate!
When we can't barely walk, we CAN dance when the music touches our hearts.
Indeed! Thank you!
I love love love this! 🙏🏽. Thank you!
Maaan I had to watch this video back 2 back.. This QUEEN is an absolute treasure‼️ Good lookin on this one, Rob 👍🏾
I know this neighborhood. Beautiful garden.
Where is she located, her website does not say?
Where is this neighborhood?
@@dawnyan5381, Wilshire district in LA
What a lovely human! If only we had more like Chantal the world would be a better place!
Real education :
teaching children how to grow your own food!
God bless you!
💖🙏🤗
What a beautiful, wise, empathetic, generous woman😍
Most plants are edible according to a group of enthusiastic people I met in North Italy a few years ago. They didn't just talk, we went walking in the hills surrounding the town where I lived - a 5 minute walk - and collected all sorts of plants, herbs and vines. Then they cooked risotto with the plants we gathered at the local Italian Alpine Club: it was delicious!
🤗🙏🌞💖😇
Beautiful lady inside and out! Love that she creates a community of health, giving, beauty, and knowledge!
I'm encouraged to keep trying. Pain makes me slow but seeing that beauty can come in spite of it motivates me to get back to work planting. Thank you for sharing your beauty!
I would love to know her! What a wise woman.
This woman is exceptional! What a wonderful way of living and sharing.
She seems so lovely, wise and warm-hearted. And generous. ♥
Wow, thank you Chantal. You are an inspiration to many. May God bless you in all you do
Thank you for highlighting this woman and her story!
Flowers are very beautiful.
Love your inspiring story. In Hawaii we plant and fish, amongst other things, with the help of the Hawaiian moon calendar
Where do you find the calendars, Chantal?
I am on Big Island, and have not seen any recently.
Hugel culture!!!
Hallelujah!
That will help me a lot.
@@patriciastewart2537 The Maria Thun Biodynamic calendar is published yearly and is available on Amazon. They also have an app BD Garden available for a yearly fee. The Stella Natura calendar is also in print yearly and available through their website at stellanatura.com. I also use a free app called Moon & Garden. Hope that helps! Happy gardening! Chantal
"We don't have many things to connect us to our past" I felt that hard. I'm Armenian, and it's really hard to find any sort of family records or anything since the genocide. Anyone who has records of your family or things passed down through generations, be grateful for it!
The very real experience of Africans throughout the Diaspora, not born on the Continent, resulting from the enslavement . Definitely can relate. DNA tracing will help.
This beautiful woman is GOALS!
"To produce your own food is a revolutionary act." Wow.
Wow that aloe plant is amazing!
Love it, thats me everywhere I go. Just petting every plant.
What an inspiration 🙏
Moon gardening! Woohoo! Thank you, Chantal. I also use lunar phases to garden.
P.S. I love this lady's heart. I am touched by her every word.
I love that people are really starting to learn more about gardening and the many benefits of doing so for the body, mind, and soul. And, thanks for sharing Chantal's story, very moving!
Excellent video
Healing inside and out from gardening and connecting with others. Beautiful.
so true what Chantal says about being connected to nature. It puts you in sync with your surroundings which results in a better mood and happier life.
This lady is adorable. Thanks for this video Rob, it was wholesome.
How inspirational 🥰💐
May Jesus pour his blessing upon you and your living garden....Your beautiful

To produce your own food is a revolutionary act... Wow. So inspiring! I am looking forward to gardening this spring
Classy lady, I share her passion for my organic garden and food forest. It's the most important movement happening right now in society. To grow our own food and help others do the same in the spirit of community. We are all one. Namaste.
I will be praying that the Lord Almighty helps you to stay healthy so you can continue doing this ministry you are doing, God bless you and your family Chantal
Very interesting lady and I admire her stamina and go do it attitude! This is the way we are meant to live! I know my great grandparents came to Canada from Germany and grew their food , raised cows etc. Hard work was done. They traded with the indigenous people and I still have a corn basket that they used. I also grew up with a big back yard garden full of vegetables , and an apple tree, raspberries, and strawberries. And visited my grandmother's huge garden with cherry and peach trees and lots of veggies. We shared with our neighbors and often invited friends for supper on weekends. We were poor financially, but did our best!
Beloved this is sooo amazing. I sooo love the fact that people exchange stuff....reminds me of the old time ways. Rob thank you for sharing her.
Love to see it. So pure and educating the community. Blessings Chantal!
Omg what a wonderful garden, that aloe story made me cry 😭
Thank you!!!!!!! I love her gardening spirit of sharing.
She is awesome, love what she is doing.
You are amazing, Divine Chantal !
♾💚 + 🙏😌 for your truly inspirational display of 'Unconditional Love.'
One of the most beautiful videos I've watched in ages. Chantal, you are a spectacular force for good.
Wow! What an amazingly beautiful soul spreading so much love! So grateful for your presence:) same to you rob! Your equally as beautiful soul! as are we all namaskar
What a wonderful energy this lady has 😊
Strong willpower , resilience, and a loving humanity is what this beautiful woman represents here. All humanity must garden, for that is the key for defeating fascism ad food shortages ! Bravo my lady!
Pardon the copypasta but I thought a previous comment I made was relevant to what this wonderful woman was saying.
Permaculture could change the world as we know it. Imagine a world where all the lawns are replaced with food forests. Bountiful fresh food within an arms reach of your door. It would bring our society to it's knees and make people question if this system really is so good. With daily meals free to everyone, the biggest whip of the masses is useless. People would see that their jobs are just a means of obtaining a daily meal, giving them more bargaining power and freedom to choose what they want to do. The workers of the world break their chains and create a society that meets everyone's basic needs. A society that allows people to work towards their own goals and society's advancement in their own way without forcing themselves into servitude of people seeking a bigger high score.
Obesity, hunger, climate change, water scarcity, wage slavery, homelessness, child poverty, depression, anxiety, isolation, supply line shortages, famine, mass extinctions, deforestation, animal cruelty.
We just need to take one small step. One small step to freedom. One small step towards tomorrow. That world is here. Waiting for us to make the first move.
Who are you beautiful person? This is poetry. We are on board!
THIS!!
Agree!!!
I'm in! Transitioning my entire back yard this year. Next year the front yard. Food not lawns!
@@carlacowling1789 🦁🥰❤🌍💜🙏👏👏👏
Ok bc of this very video then followed link for her page I read her story. I know I can do this too. 😊 although I’m older I’m going to learn how to make a garden somehow and learn how to plant and grow my own foods for me and my children. 🙏🥰😊🙏🙌🏻
Angela Molnar/Pemberton, Yes! I’m so happy to think I am inspiring you to garden! Good luck and happy gardening!
lovely story. We can start small in a pot or a plot.
The embodiment of loveliness. This was a pleasure to watch. Thank you, Rob, & thank you to Chantal! So inspiring.
Wow! What a great story! I specially loved the story of the aloe plant. We have one that my seven year old great granddaughter calls the "boo-boo" plant.
Quand je vois les aînés que nous avons, je reste impressionné par leur énergie et leur vitalité. Il faut profiter de leur savoir avant de le perdre. Merci Rob, merci Chantal. Vous êtes inspirants.
Beautiful story from a beautiful lady
Wow, what a beautiful story. Gardening is amazing thing, it has certainly changed my life. Peace surrounds me daily being in the garden. Today I can working on a mini orchard and I could not be happier.
Thank you for this beautiful lady. Thank you for all your encouragement! I loved all you’ve done to help others. It shows your love for your neighbors. And I’m sure you are loved by them!❤️
I really enjoyed this piece. She taught so much.
Wonderful! Would love to see this all over.
Amazing how all the wonderful plants grow from the earth's soil. Precious soil.
Rob you are completely amazing! Keep up the real community work!
Chantal, I thank you for your strength, wisdom and giving spirit! You are an inspiration to all! Blessings to You!

What a beautiful soul this lady is. Turning the hardship and suffering she has faced into motivation to put out positivity and community-minded action. It does me good to see things like this ❤️
What an incredible woman! Thanks for sharing, Rob 😃
One must be an awesome individual to see life from this perspective and to take initiative to create in this manner. I see beauty, nourishment, creativity.....just so much! Respect!
I really enjoyed this video. Ms. Chantal is so awesome and has a loving sweet spirit and concern for the teaching and well being of her neighbors (community and global). The world needs more people like her. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless!💕
I wish there was someone here in the Twin Cities like Chantal. I'd love to learn from her & help her out too. She's so precious. Such a lovely woman with a big heart :)
You can be that woman for your neighborhood. Take the first step! You will be joyful.
@@chandrikatilwalli4741 I wish I could. I'm new to where I live. I also live in an apt without a patio so I only have room for a few indoor plants. When I have a house with a big yard like Chantal, I'd love to follow in her footstep & connect with Mother Earth while helping my community. She Is Inspiring :)
@@kollettevan9746 I am sending good positive thoughts you way . You know that your going to have a house and a garden. . You can look into renting a space in the community garden for the season . In our area village offers a plot of 20 \30 area for nominal price. You can also look into green stalk planters , you can grow greens and herbs indoors. I am glad you have indoor plants. I think you are going to be a leader like Chantel . Wish you all the best.
Beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration.
Such an inspiration 💕💕💕 this world needs more people like her! ☺️
Thank you for sharing this inspiring story
I wish I could give this interview 1000 likes.
@Inguliuke Ki Great idea!
Thank you so much for sharing the stories of such inspiring people.
Chanta is so inspirational! I'm planning to grow a community garden next year as well! Good luck to me :0
Chantal is an inspirational life force! I can totally relate with her connection with bush roses, ancestral plants and loved one’s memories! I’m sure she will be remembered for a long time as a loving, wise and generous human being by many people. Thank you!
I love that she shared the history of the Aloe Vera that was brought over by enslaved family on ships to America. She is AMAZING!
Just beautiful. The garden and your story, Thankyou 🌺 So powerful ❤️
