How I Transformed My Ordinary Yard Into A Food Paradise

When I began my gardening journey, my backyard was nothing but a clear cut lot of sand, weeds and fire ants. In the last 7 years, I transformed my ordinary yard into a food forest overflowing with abundance, a Garden of Eden in the suburbs. In this video, I give you a tour of the hundreds of fruit trees and vegetables that make my yard a true food paradise and share how I brought so much abundance to a simple 8,000 sq ft backyard.
