I use to think that a Hollywood life was the dream but now that im older, I've realized one day living in the country, having a sustainable garden is the real dream and brings more meaning to ur life. Loved the video my dude ❤🌿

I don't know that I've ever seen Charles Dowding enjoy himself so much. This was so uplifting and such a pleasure to watch.

Great video, what is even more fantastic is seeing a younger generation taking on Charles' wisdom with equal enthusiasm. This is how communities flourish.

this collab is absolutely everything 💚💚💚

oh hell yeah. I'm loving this collab

It’s such a pleasure to see the success Charles is having at the moment. I first interviewed Charles around 10 years ago and nobody was interested in his message.

In my house he is called Sir Charles. 🤣 I would have been geeking out and giddy just like you. I could feel your excited and nervous energy through the screen and I can totally relate. He is a living legend 🙏🏽🤎

These two men are absolute treasures.

Minty must have felt she’d found Paradise when she rambled in to Charles’s stunningly beautiful garden , lucky cat 🐈

It's kinda crazy to think about, but there are a lot of people that would feel the same way about meeting you and seeing your garden as you did meeting Charles

I love people who are passionate about what they do, both of you together chatting about the veggies, awesome. 😊

Omg this is the collab that everyone needed. Get Hue Richards in here too and it's absolute gold

In your new reincarnation as a gardener, Gaz, so glad you've stumbled on my 'gardening guru' whose No Dig practice changed my life many years ago. Great video, love the enthusiasm!

that cat Minty is just a sweetheart.....

It was fantastic to watch the two of you nerding out about plants together 😁 Who else thought that the cat, loving on the both of them, stole the show in the end? 😄😄

At this point, Charles Dowding has inspired all of us! Have learnt a lot from him, and still learning 🌻

as someone who loves plants but doesn’t have a green thumb, i really enjoyed this. i hope to get to this level/expertise of gardening. i’m currently working on my fall crops and hoping to get better and know more over time

Honestly, this was a brilliant collaboration of two very talented people working close with nature. Both of you were very inspiring in this video. 💛 Thank you so much for sharing this video with Charles, and that ending was great!! 😊 Looking forward to Part 2. P.S. Don't leave us hanging too long please. 😁

I am THRILLED that you have rescued those lovely chickens. Bless you Gaz!! You have given them a wonderful life, and I see nothing at all wrong with eating their eggs under those happy circumstances. Congratulations on your humane attitude. You are doing so much good.

Charles Dowding is such a lovely man.

I am so inspired.....and have a big smile from ear to ear. Charles has been a major force in me throwing myself into the garden. I started a small vege garden 12 mths ago at an over 50s village in Australia. It has been a massive hit with the residents and is now approaching 200 m^2 in size. There's still so much to learn......so I grow in awe each day of men like Charles whose knowledge and experience are black gold to my mind.

Dude, you have no idea how much I adore your channel and you as a person. I've never missed a video. You are an amazing Chef with a great personality. I'll meet you one day. I'm working towards it. Everyone deserves to meet their heroes.

Charles seems like the sweetest guy ❤

Momentous indeed. This was unexpected meeting. A gift of knowledge and love for nature. Thank you Mr. Oakley and Mr. Dowding and all the production crew. 🥰

OH MY GOD, HE GOT TO TAKE A TOUR WITH THE LEGEND. GOALSSSSSS.

If you are even a little bit interested in gardening you know these two. A perfect colab ❤

Instant homely feeling 🌱💚🙂 everything looked as if my childhood gardens materialised. Thank you so much for sharing, I'm looking forward to the next episode!

This is THE BEST!! Thanks gentlemen, what a joy to watch. 🇦🇺

Fabulous collab. Charles is so humbly amazing. I can watch him for hours and Gaz I've not been subscribed to your channel for long but I can also watch you for hours too :D Just love this.

thank you for this garden tour of Charles Dowding's garden; I've always found Home Acres beautiful and a tremendous inspiration for my own. Blending functionality with aesthetics is no easy task, but the aesthetic value of the vegetable garden can convince more people to try it to enhance the beauty of their home. It's a lower value than saving animals but whatever it takes to get there. Like you said Gaz...you can't truly appreciate food until you grow it. It's not even a close...

I started my no dig garden 3 years ago. This is such a great video!

i always learn something new here.. thanks, Gaz, you amazing, talented human. i just love watching all this fresh, natural, home-grown space that Mr. Charles has created; sooooul gorgeous and greeeeen!!

I love, love, love Charles. Thank you for helping to spread the word.

What a wonderful man! his garden looks absolutely perfect, so well organized and pleasing to watch, it's a reflection of his beautiful soul 😌 thank you for inspiration, Gaz! ❤

the energy between you two is 🥰 great idea to visit your hero and sharing Charles garden an his vision on your chanel. I hope a lot of your viewers jump into gardening. My first love is gardening. It is the most satisfying thing to do. Working with the soil that is giving to us. Without any chemicals!!!

Sungold is amazing. I regret only having 3 of them in my balcony, should have had like 10.

Gaz, to point you in the direction regarding your question about nutrient density of the plants, read the book "Eating on The Wild Side" by Jo Robinson :) One topic it discusses is how quickly nutrients are lost once harvested (depending on the plant). Thank you for sharing how magical it can be when we grow our own foods

Loved being a fly on the wall for this one. Thank you gents

I love Charles’ gardening philosophy and I love Gaz’s food philosophy. So great to see them together! ❤

This is great! We did a no dig garden this year, such a great way to plant food!

U 2 could have a show of u chatting all day always. It’s just great!

I really enjoyed this, he has a beautiful garden and a sweet cat. I’m really looking forward to the next episode of this collaboration. He gave some wonderful tips on planting and the produce look lovely. Farm to table is definitely a great thing.

I grow Sungolds every year, they are delicious, definitely add them to your garden next year Gaz! This was a wonderful video!

Always had a suspicion Charles loves his herbs 😂 absolutely brilliant colab best thing I've watched in weeks. Your both inspirational characters thanks for this. Make another soon! 💚

🧑🏼‍🌾! I’m a fan of both channels, and enjoyed this collaboration! My kids and I have really enjoyed no dig children’s book. I’m looking forward to seeing more content on this subject. Be well,be blessed! 🌱

Sun gold tomatoes are the bomb. Thanks for sharing Charles' beautiful garden.

Great time interviewing Charles! Your conversation is so cool.

*"That makes harvest difficult....."* OH MY how I can relate to that! I grew small sugarloaf cabbages for the first time and was so amazed and so incredibly proud of them that I delayed picking them, just couldn't bear to do it - and then had cabbage butterfly moths descend and obliterate them. Still kicking myself hard but using it as a learning experience! Nice to know though that I have one thing in common with such a great gardener LOL Beautiful video *THANK-YOU* - Charles' garden is SUCH a joy and inspiration to just look at from the other side of this planet. Cheers from Sydney

Charles Dowding is a legend, very cool to see you meet him!

That cat nearly took you out by leg bombing near the end of the garden section, Gaz! lol. Great show, I love Charles.

This is just tremendous! Irrelevant of 1m views, you have to get the TATOO!!! Totally inspirational to my channel and hope I get to meet my hero someday, which is you buddy! Another hero of mine is Ottolenghi, as he taught me to fall in love with Vegetables and cook with them. But you've really gone deep here, on a growing level. Charles is an absolute LEGEND. Really interesting with the expertise on growing in blocks and varieties. Thanks for sharing & keep up the tremendous work. James

This was such a wholesome video! 🥰 Will come back to it on a rainy day to make me smile 😊 thanks for sharing!

The crossover I wanted to see! My favourite two gardeners and inspiration right now

This garden is unbelievably amazing

Watching this video is like therapy! What a gorgeous garden

The information about seratonin was very enlightening. Since I retired three years ago my garden has truly become my happy place. And you will be happy to know that I conert more lawn to food and flowers each year

Loved this! Brilliant. The smiles say it all! 😊❤🌱

One of your best Gaz. Brilliant

You guys are the best. This makes me so happy. I wish I was there with you talking about growing food and touring the gardens.

I've been following you both for YEARS and it's so cool to see you in the same video! 🤯🧡

I'm so glad you found each other! I love Charles' vids.

Thanks for introducing this fantastic gardener. Now I’ll have to look him up on KZfaq. You are inspiring me to do more with my garden. Great video!

Wot a lucky man you are to meet Charles Darwin

These are the kind of collabs we want to see more…Charles has inspired so many people and thank you for making this video …waiting for the 2nd part!

You both are such an inspiration!!! I can’t wait to see the next episode 🩵

I LOVE THIS! I AM NOT able to convey the feels! This is the video I didn't realise I needed, I've followed Dowding for so many years aswell.. Honestly, I just wanted to share my excitement about this video, words come sooo short

Gaz you are so inspirational ❤️. Thank you for showing us all of our potential

I was growing food on my balcony for years before moving to a large garden. Gaz, wonderful show, awesome energy. You enimate peace while being excited and funny ❤

I feel like when I first saw the Avengers. What a nice crossover!

Charles = GOAT .....I grow all my veggies in the compost after watching his videos and they love it! I dry out my food scraps, put them in 100-liter bags, with chicken compost, horse poo, vermiculite, excess straw, etc, and then some soil on top, I grow all my greens this way and it is awesome as you can move the bags around, I hardly use any soil and the veges are super green and healthy. And the worms that are left in the bag at the end, so many worms.

Great video! Regarding the nutrition question, I've been researching this myself in regards to homegrown vegetables vs. supermarket vegetables. Things like Spinach lose something like 90% of their vitamin C over the course of just a few days. Most vegetables lose between 15 to over 80% of their nutritional content before it makes it to your plate if you're buying vegetables from the supermarket. To make matters worse, the produce is picked before it's ripe, and then artificially ripened (even the organic stuff), so it never even gets a chance to develop full flavor and nutrition in the first place, before losing a lot of it in shipping, and sitting on the shelf. It's one of the things that's pushed me to start growing our own food starting this year. Your channel is an inspiration in that endeavour. Thank you.

see you bouth enjoy life is just absolutely necessary for our next generation... Gardening and healthy food for life ..love from Scotland

Wooow so much respect for Charles His videos are a great inspiration for our vegetable garden

Charles is the best gardener on this planet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ love that man and if I were in the UK I’d be running on over to visit. I have been watching him for so many years now. My dad watched him too and one day I said something from a video and my dad said “oh you’re watching Charles too” 😂 hurry up with the second part so I can see his comment about your cooking. I want to seeeeeee
