- (Part 1 of 2) This ultra-abundant 2.5-acre agriculture demo site is beating the odds in super harsh conditions (& for a reason). We bring you along on a virtual tour of the H.E.A.R.T Village in Lake Wales, Florida, where Josh Jamison, along with the interns & students, have created a simulation of various challenging situations & appropriate growing methods to prepare for providing aid while working abroad in developing countries where access to resources & nutrition is a concern.
We will have even more to share in part 2, which will be released 5/18/19.

This is what I want my backyard to look like. Raised beds and trees and vines. I adore his long beds. Mine are 17' long and 3' wide. I made them more narrow because I'm in a wheelchair so it makes it easier to reach across
Renee I’m so proud of you!! Keep it up ❤️
Josh is the man! Thank you for covering his work, Pete.
Thanks David! He’s seriously one of the most knowledge guys I know in this movement.
Would love to see short tours of people's backyards. You obviously do a lot of large-to-medium-scale farm tours, but seeing other home gardens would also be inspiring, especially Florida gardeners, since so much CZcams gardening content is from much farther north.
-Love from Sarasota County.

Agreed! That’s what brought me here in the first place :) just bought a house and need small space ideas!!
polkadottedpolak I’d love to feature some epic small yards. Any ideas?
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Gimme a year or two and I'll volunteer myself! I just moved into a new house so I have nothing to show yet. In the meantime you might find some cool ones by going to local/native nurseries (such as Sweet Bay Nursery in Parrish) and asking if they have any employees or regular customers with epic small yards. Or reach out to your own followers in FL and asking people if they have something epic enough to share.
Hey Pete, I also have a suggestion: when you film someone talking about stuff and they're pointing at things and describing what they've done, what's growing, sometime you just keep the camera on their face only. While we hear the talk, we could be watching what's being described instead--so, pls, pan the camera away from the face and more onto what's talked about, and do more close ups as well, many thanks!
Thank you. I'm about to start a food forest on the west coast of South Africa. (Sandy soil Mediterranean climate)
Awesome! Good luck 👊
BLESS YOU AND GOOD LUCK!!!!
Ljb - I am in Hopefield west Coast SA - doing the same ! Enjoy the journey!
@@lizanadejongh3154 Amazing im in Hopefield too.

Good Morning Pete!! What an amazing place!!!! Love seeing them pick fresh strawberries!!, You really do post every day on Instagram, and the posts are all great and very educational, I have learned a lot, thanks Pete for another awesome video!!
Thanks Peg! Glad you found my Instagram:)
Interested to see how they manage their soil fertility. Very interesting place!
just dump in more compost as it decomposes and shrinks
Wow! I'm so blessed to be part of h.e.a.r.t. and work with Josh. Thanks Pete for the great video! 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed! Y’all are doing some amazing work at Heart. Im just happy I finally got to feature this epic site 🙌
Love "HEART VILLAGE"....so awesome ! Great job Josh !
Ty 4 sharing Pete !
Wolf🐺 👍
👊
My Filipino wife loves sweet potatoes, but form me give me regular potatoes, Norland, viking, Kenebec. Where my wife is from you cannot grow "regular" potatoes, it too hot. But up in the mountains they do grow them and apples. Also there ketchup is made from bananas not tomatoes. My children (now adults) like it, but I am an old dog so the tomatoes for ketchup.
Pete, Remind this grower that nearly any kind of bean has nitrogen as a waste product. Growing pole beans or soybeans in alternating rows with cotton for textiles or corn or any other plant that swiftly depletes unsupported soils will at least greatly reduce the soil depletion and depending on what you have planted with the beans can even eliminate said depletion.
Ive been there several times and am always impressed by the work they re doing. Well done Josh and thanks for sharing this Pete!
Thanks Alex! We are so lucky to have Josh in Florida 🙏
The video was very informative. You need to express yourself some more. August Harrison
Excellent video Pete as always, wow that place is amazing! Looking forward to part 2
Thanks Todd! I’ve been wanting to feature this spot for a while.
yet another great vid Pete. Love how you spread the beauty of working with nature and its abundance ! Good vibes from Norway😉👍🏽
Thanks Simen!
Pete makes the best videos
I dream of having gardens this big and lush! Such beauty!!!
Right!?! I dream of having a staff of 20 volunteers to help 😬
I am working on my own micro climate on my 9th floor apartment garden. Its on the balconies. And as we have many windows. We are using these for the greenhouse effect. All the way from the netherlands.
Cool stuff!
Awesome thank you! I would love to visit this farm.
I really like this guy! He is so knowledgeable! Im usually turned off buy these INTERNATIONAL gardeners but this dude is AWESOME! Thanks for you efforts!
Just incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Good to see some widely consumed Latin food in the garden. My wife is a chayote lover, great item to chop up and cook with some beans!
And the white sweet potatoes, aka Batata look up a desert recipe with this veggie.
Josh Jamison is Doing Great Things & Their Farm Shows It !!! Keep Up the Great Work Josh, Your Friends, Sherry & Larry Shatzer
Pete, you should set up a tour with Sherry & Larry. They have a great home based nursery in Winter Garden.
Thanks for the idea Joel! I’ve been to Larry’s place before.
All i have to say is thank you Pete for all these videos.
🤩
Thank you for the inspiration! I'm motivated to work harder! 👍
Along with the tour and the "how to" of setting up and encouraging/regenerating growth season after season, sharing the wealth of Josh's firsthand knowledge will help all of us as we build our gardens and food forests in our neighborhoods and cities around the world. Thanks so much.
Josh is the man!
Wow! Thank you very much for your time, talent, and treasure for a very noble project. You are a living inspiration. Praise God for a person like you. God bless you always.
Love love love your videos! They make me excited about farming and gardening. Always happy to get a new video notification! - Adam
Thanks Adam! 👊
What an amazing production Pete! Thank you for adding value to the world!
Much love Shai! Thank you my friend 🙏
Awesome place and mission.
So cool, really love what you are doing. Thank you for making the world a bit better!
🙌
hey hey HEY hey I grew up in Puerto Rico and that variety of taro root we called it YAUTIA ooooh men yautia it's delicious boiled it ad sea salt and garlic and virgin olive oil mmmm it brings memories of my island
Oh cool!
So informative, loved loved loved this. Thank you for posting. Blessings.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed
In regards to the tarot. In Jamaica we have 2 types. "Dasheen" the larger of the two, bluish grey when boiled, single tuber and then more productive "coco" whilch is smaller but elongated, pear shaped with multiple tubers on the same plant.
Nice! Do like one variety more?
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL the coco is more tasty. But both great by themselves or even better in chicken foot soup😋
I like how you let your subject explain his work, we feel as if we were there. Your videos are instructing, I am learning so much, very inspiring. You are on the forefront of the adaptations we will have to do in a changing economy and the future climate conditions. These people are doing amazing work, we need to know theses stories! Thank you.
Thanks for noticing! I’ve learned from my own experience what I like and don’t like while interviewing. It’s not perfect yet but I’m constantly striving to get better in all aspects of film work. I’ve only been doing this two years and it started with a cell phone for the first 30 or so videos.
Incredibly interesting diversity! Please continue to share... thanks! !
Thanks Kate! 🙏
Great video. Love the soundtrack,nature,could almost smell it.
I am envious of the farmers you have on the shows,.
La Perez thank you!
This video makes me hungry. Beautiful farm! Josh is brilliant.
Thanks Michelle!
Wow..thank you for showing this..amazing
🙌
You are the man! Thanks for the vids as always. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! 👊
I have to say he loves his job, so excited about it
Great tour. I like your interviewing style, you let him tell his story. Fascinating place. He seemed to be so knowledgeable. He seem to be only touching on the highlights, I bet he could tell things for days about the plants.
So cool to see Josh on the channel! Great guy!
Thanks Joe! He’s really doing some next level work here in Florida.
What an incredible garden
Great Job guys.Love your garden and the way you feed your garden.
🙏

Eddie 22324 thank you! I need to get one of those 360 degree cameras 🎥

Thanks Chris! Josh is doing some amazing work.
Wow I need a garden like that beautiful
Yeah I too was expecting to hear that mantra at the top of the episode
you can eat taro leaves,you dry it up and is really good with coconut cream.
Absolutely amazing demonstration of abundance 💛🌻
Congrats on 70k subs.
Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks Allan! It came and went pretty fast, can’t wait for that 100k 👊
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL- it'll happen quickly with your great vids. BTW, is this the vid you were teasing a few days ago? I got the impression it was about a project you were installing...
Such a nice bro and super smart! Awesome vid Pete!
Thank you! I’ve learned a lot from Josh
So much inspiration
The education aspect of this site is very cool!!another great video uncle pete!
Thanks Andrew!
Awesome stuff!! Such an inspiring video!!

Hi Josh, ur Ministry is doin a great job, trainin pple for Gardenin in Mission wks, Peacecorps, Internship etc. Food Sufficiency is v imp. in poor nations n also in these End Times.
Shalom n Godspeed.
Not end times not today
@@Becca-Becca-Becca, certainly not today.
@@Becca-Becca-Becca, not today but imminent!
That guy has quite a place, I'm glad to see that they are being able to become self sufficient.
Josh is doing some amazing work!
Taro in Trinidad and Tobago is called dasheen bush. The leaves are used to make a dish called callaloo and the roots are a ground provision. We usually grow it around water as was said.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing
incredible garden so inspiring
Thanks 🙏
Awesome! Your vids are always such an educational experience!
Thank you! 🙏
How funny I remember when you started doing a vlog and boy it’s wonderful thanks for all you do
Thanks Becca! It’s been a pretty amazing journey ❤️
I haven''t even started the video yet but holy shit I'm so excited for this one. Tons of love from San Diego --glitch
Thanks glitch! 👊
Super great video. Thank you for such quality content! God bless.
Thanks 🙏
Papaya is really good green, boiled till soft and mashed with some butter.
Green is my favorite too!
Great job
This is cool how you planted stuff. You have lots of exciting variations of plants and fruit trees. I am a vegan that is so thrilled. Your animals also provide many awesome manures that varies to make really good compost additives. I am excited to see what part 2 is all about that video should be exciting. If it's anything like this will be really good. You have a great property. Thank you sharing. The tour was way more than what I could expect.
Yup! They aren’t messing around. Quite the demonstration site.
What a great place! Would love to visit ❤
Great video, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks guys! 🙏
Love your content!
not cough thank you!🙏
Great info! super nice video, lot of hart work:) thanks!!
Thank you!
That's awesome much respect
👊
Very cool place. I'd love to see it
Very cool place. You can make rotation with the plantings, can control the development of each plants. I just did not like the soil without mulch.
The Corymbia torelliana tree is now considered an environmental weed in parts of Australia outside of its natural range. They are a nice tree and will grow large very quickly if that is what you want. Known to drop branches. I had one removed a while back because it taking over my house block.
Chris Jay they manage this one with regular coppicing and chop and drop.
Another great video Pete. Ty vm
Thanks Roger!
Wish it would be like this everywhere, would be so nice if everybody just grew their own food.
That would be awesome!
Just beautiful. Great video!
Thanks Tom!
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL Man, you are so welcome. Thank you for finding these great places and spending the time and money to bring us these amazing and inspiring shows! Well, it's 80 and partly cloudy here in Central Florida. Looks like a good day to plant some stuff. Have a good one Pete!
Love it, thanks!
🙏
Like paradise on earth!
Шикарно!!!😊😊😊👍👍👍
We work in similar conditions in dryland Brazil, and clay has been absolutely key to the success! It holds water and supplies iron, etc. Eggplants don´t do well here either, but I think it might be a magnesium question-Epsom salts. We eat LOTS of sweet potato leaves. Zucchini was a problem, but I discovered it was a boron deficienvy- common in these sandy soils.
I didn’t realize Brazil had sandy soils also. I really wanna come to Brazil and visit Ernst Gotsch one day 🙏
Can not wait to go!!!!!!!!
Enjoy!
Love cassava.. Talk to a cuban on how to cook it.. I live on 1/4 acre with a house on it.. N and we have 20 plants growing.. Last year we had 14 n I think harvested 30 pounds.. N love it!
I got some plants from here
Nice place .hope my one man food forest looks like this hope😂
Nice! Glad to hear you’ve been too heart. Good luck with that food forest 👊
FANTASTIC!!!
thanks for sharing ^^
Glad you enjoyed! For some reason your comments always end up in my spam box. Luckily I recently found it and check it regularly :)
Awesome! I love the farm tours. On a different note grapes were brought up. You had a short teaser grape video a while back could you possibly point me in a direction for more in depth info on grapes in Florida.
Love what you do
Thanks! I wouldn’t know where to look for local grape knowledge. Maybe I’ll do another video with Paul, he’s the grape master.
That would be awesome
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL id like to see more about florida grapes as well.
I ❤ all the papaya trees.
All parts of the chayote plant are edible.
Easy to overcook and turn to bland mush.
Steam lightly.
They’re delicious! I’ve normally baked or sautéed mine. Good info, thanks!
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL They're very much maligned here, due to it's texture and also the vines ability to smother sheds and collapse them.
Thanks for the cooking note
🇲🇽 Root is edible too, a large tuber like cassava/mandioca. Cooked like potato in any dish. I like it in a tortilla española kind. 😋
All parts are. Seeds, stems, leaves, tendrils.
Awesome
Love it, Pete keeps it coming yes love that saying chop and drop you bet the first time I heard that was from Matt P, an awesome guy has a beg homestead in permaculture can not remember his last name. Grate shows Pete keep them coming.
Thanks Paula!
Great Video Content. Looking forward to deploying some of your tactics in our developing communities in Costa Rica and integrating community farming into the remote areas we will be developing with container and other cost effective home building materials adding a food growing element to the community Vision and Life Style.
We have many videos from our Travels to Costa Rica that will inspire you!
Next County over work go sometimes will have to check you out. I work Lakeland sometimes been over there to Spook Hill and checking out old abandoned places
Cool! I still haven’t been to spook hill, I need to check that place out.
thaks you for your video i am very enjoyed see your video
Glad you enjoyed!
I love this place❤️👍
I like this video. Your videos are always good.
Thank you!
Mesmerizing video ! I just jumped on the urban garden idea for my Kissimmee yard and to have a project with my autistic grandson. His plot thriving and my side a little suspicious. I'd love to take him out to this garden just to inspire him and probably to figure out how to get things right. My neighbors (HOA community ) starting to laugh at me but I'm committed to change anyway. Did have to tell my lawn service to slow down and not trim everything in sight.
Thanks Allan! I highly suggest visiting heart is an amazing site.
@@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL I watched your great video but then went to their website. I was startled to see they claimed non Christians no actually welcome to visit... although you could buy plants in their shop. I'm not religious at all.My connection to God is in my garden. Their odd approach kind of scared me away ....
OMG! I am Buddhist. Does that mean I am not welcome to visit their site? I was so eager to see this in person. How disappointing.
Allan Oakley I’ve been told This is not true. Josh told me anyone is welcome. I couldn’t find what you were talking about, please highlight and email me and I will get to the bottom of this.
GreenDreamsfl@yahoo.com
Tc Anderson Anyone is welcome, this is not true. I’m not sure where that’s coming from.
Lot of experience he has!
Seriously Jason! Josh is one of the smartest guys I know.
Pete Kanaris GreenDreamsFL look forward to part 2 and a biannual follow up or something too lol.
Nice farm love it!
Thanks Steve! 👊
