- In this short documentary film, Dr Azra Bertrand, founder of Biomancy University, joins renowned herbalist and master gardener Joe Hollis at his magical Mountain Gardens home in Appalachia to discuss living a life in co-creation with the earth, and learning from the magic of the plant world.
Mountain Gardens is an educational center and "visionary ecological theater'" in the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. It is home to the largest variety of medicinal herbs in the eastern USA, that Joe has been cultivating for 50 years, living in communion with Gaia and the wisdom of the Plants.

Joe Hollis for president
I dunno about that How about joe as secretary of agriculture and the fda I think he can do better there
Joe’s not corrupt enough to hold an office in our government! I’m thinking Joe for my temporary guru and plant educator and I’ll work in my stonemason, landscaping, construction… f250 and a 16” trailer with a solid load of my important tools and I’ll move there and provide some back and brawn for your vision… some of your answers we so similar to my thinking that I am really still stunned!!! I know that I couldn’t be alone in my own thoughts or having lived 53 years and studied the planet wondering where those people who were thinking like me. I’d love to add some pool’s to raise fish…to feed myself and other’s and use the water to fertilizer plants or hydroponic a little production greenhouse? Gigantic dandelion green as a bulk emergency food supply? I’d love to have you teach me just a fraction of your Incredible brain usually the Chinese plants in landscape design be interesting it’s very interesting that you’re using it in North Carolina and I need to spend a couple years helping you out… should be able to sell out everything by winter here! 👍😉
No chance that the fossil fuel overlords would allow that, but I’d vote for him.
Vice President❤ Trump is President.
@@shelahogletree7711 No, he’s technically not. And I’m unsure how you think a single premise of this video about living in harmony with the earth is compatible with your alternative reality.
Fantastic documentary.🌹✨
Im sad to hear of the news of joe passing. I have been inspired by joe for about 15 years . I wish i could have met him. Joe thank you for time upon the earth with us all and encouraging others to connect back to mother nature.
No way did he really pass?
We have purchased 2acres of ancient forest on an island and I’ve been telling everyone I can’t believe we “Own” these old trees doesn’t feel right ownership I’ve been saying we are temporary guardians of them, We are all one, 🖤❤️Your little eden 🤗🙏🏿❤️🖤
My family is from a tribal culture that many ppl do not grasp bc they don't live in an environment or with the environment. It is refreshing to see a white American that is intelligent enough to live right sized, knowing his place in it...instead of being dependent upon it and yet also dominating it merely to extract its beauty and energy. Quite inspiring and glad to know he gave credit to the tribal ppl living in long houses in Borneo. There's a reason why they lived that way for so long and experience joy by doing it the way their ancestors did. I like how Joe saw THAT and was inspired by THAT enough to build his own which also inspires others as well. 😊❤
Just watched Peter Santanello interview with Joe. Joe you are an inspiration! I hope one day I can visit your gardens & purchase some tinctures. Keep inspiring & teaching others thru your wonderful gardens
Me too!
where is this glorious place?

I just watched that, too. Absolutely wonderful and inspiring.
I'm an EX nurse turned herbalist. We both are experienced gardeners, plus he's an excellent mechanic for vehicles or small motors.
I grow herbs and create tinctures, teas and balms.
My dad was a college professor who taught biology, botany and eventually "science education". Joe is my "spirit animal"!
Joe is a modern day Druid. 👍🙏
Filming Joe Hollis was inspirational! We had a wonderful time making this documentary! Glad Joe is getting the love & attention he deserves 💖🌱
I live in Burnsville and would love to volunteer and help him. How can I get in contact with this fine fellow?
I just read in the comments that he passed away November 7th 😢@@craigjones3835
@craigjones3835 He died in November. His website is still running though. I believe someone or a group has taken over his property.
I want to be here so badly. My heart just feels some kind of way about this place.
Yes!
Thank you. Had an old Navajo friend always said “Walk in Beauty ”. So many meanings. It’s become a way of life.
Yes! Walk in Beauty! Nature will hold you if you allow. We learn from Her and the Animals...Thanks Joe, Dr., and all that contributed!
Blessings🙏💜💫
Joe, you and your apprentices are forever legends, because you passed your knowledge to them and now you have passed. Rest in peace friend.
I’m so glad to see something like this exists
" Back to the future " indeed Joe. Thanks for being a steward and caring and loving the gardens.
Thanks to Peter Santanello for introducing us to your videos. You are such a good man teaching and inspiring people despite the distance. Thank you very much.
@13:22 - "Whether we eat plants, whether we eat animals that have eaten those plants or whether we breath the oxygen thats been created by those plants" Yes, yes and YES!!! 🤝
I just bought a piece of land yesterday, and now this video pops up. Thank you for the inspiration.
RIP Joe. What a gift to humanity 🙏🏾
I read in the comments of Peter Santonelli's video about Joe, that he had cancer and passed away on Nov 7th this year.
Nov.7th,,2023. The Body is gone,,The Spirit Grows Stronger for ReBirth. just Pray it's local✌🏼
How does he get cancer? Maybe the chemical plants and nuclear energy sites in NC caused his cancer.
@sandrachamber1912 or the herbs he used
I had never heard of nuclear energy in NC, but does it refer to background energy, of natural origin? Any way , It is a pity that a man with the experience he had and accumulated, in reference to herbs, is no longer with us.
I didn’t see that! I just watched it! How could he possible have had cancer living off the land?? Unless it was a viral strain??
Magic of the eco system.
Mother nature is amazing.
I have been saying the same about beauty for years-it has an evolutionary function! That is in informing us about ecosystem health. We can’t standardize beauty, but it can lead us the way to restoring the land’s natural wholeness, the health of the land.
this is what humanity should aspire to
Feel So bless to find this channel .! I been study Herbalist, medicine plants , how they heal our bodies, mind and souls . I am from Panama Canal 🇵🇦 we protect our rain forest us our source of LIFE ..! 👍🇵🇦🌎🌳🙌🙏😇🤗
I don't know I can't help myself but to cry honestly I really love the nature. Nature gives us peace of mind and soul , energy and strength needed by our body . These should be on a mainstream to awaken the people cuz it's a one way to protect our nature😢. Thank you so much for these kind of channel and to Mr Joe thank you and May God bless you 🙏.
I agree. Joe is a legend for humanity and an ecosystem that has sustained life here on earth for thousands of years. He Most definitely should be recognized for his dedication, self discipline, and courage to continue his beliefs, encouraging and teaching others to do the same.
Thank You Joe
RIP Joe. I learned to much from your videos. Thank you.
Heaven on Earth! What a stunning place. We all should be living just like this. Thank you, Joe for sharing your beautiful home with us.
i have visited mountain gardens for a few herb school field trips ~ there is really no place like it in this area and the plant knowledge is unlimited. great Vibe, great place.
Hi Joe. I have just watched the Peter Santanello video. Really enjoyed it and you have inspired me in so many ways. Can't thank you enough.
Same here, Joe is so inspiring!
@@trylliumt5441 certainly is. A great man.
Joe Hollis has a place in my heart. I really hope that people can relearn primitive concepts and love nature like Joe does
I’m absolutely in love with this man an what he has done to his land an all the knowledge he has!!! What a remarkable man I’d love to meet this man an donate myself to help him an put my butt to work on his land in any help he needs! Gosh what a dream come true
I would also be blessed to help him with his land and ecosystem…❤❤
@@dionholmes6443 💕💕💕💕🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 he truly is an great man
He takes on students/workers.
Me too me too !!! I’m 55 with one son at home left. Joes legend needs to be rebuilt and carried on !!!
Eco- magic.....Eco-romance....We are not the only thing on earth...it's not all about you.....Plants quietly observe, and offer...Learn their language....Respect the garden, you too were planted in. We have wantered off the path, but there is still hope. This video is a reminder...it is a sign to the path back to the garden...but you must humble yourself, and be willing to learn, and come with respect. It's a give and take, not just take and destroy without knowing what you have done. 1 earth. A beautiful garden......It knows how if you listen and observe.
GOD get's ALL the credit for HIS beautiful CREATION~
This is sooo heartwarming… I Love to see Joe Hollis back. It is delightful to know know he has help.
This place feels like home to me and is home to my ancestors. I have a longing to be there. To grow young there. Paradise is what the creator put into our heart with eternity as our lifespan. I love this kindred spirit. He is more in tune with the scriptures and purpose for the earth than I think he is aware of. I would love to take the arthritis out of his hands for him. Yes it is possible and has been done. My life is very similar to his. So much more peace this way. Bless his heart.❤
What a beautiful comment! I too have Cherokee ancestors from there. This posting brought me tears of joy.
Indigenous wisdom
I love you Mr Hollis
Rest in Paradise, Joe. Your life has touched mine.
I’m just setting here thinking about having had the opportunity to share time with these two guys during this little filming and how incredibly changed I’d have been. We absolutely absorb other peoples waves or chi! When we are incredibly happy and grateful to just have another wonderful thanksgiving and opportunity to celebrate another fantastic day on this journey and to get to be apart of this magical world! If you aren’t just blown away by the beauty of this world around you then you must be living the wrong life and that wrong way! Recognize! It’s just over! Second’s short and if you are waisting any part you’re doing it wrong!!!
Yes this exactly! I filmed these interviews, spent a lot of time following Joe around to film the additional footage, and also privately explored Mountain Gardens to film all the nature scenes. It really was a powerful experience.
Pleased to see all these folks discovering Mountain Garden and Joe Hollis. He’s definitely a treasure.
Yes indeed he is…. I am beyond blessed to have come across his his channel 4 hrs ago, always anticipating when or if, he is able share more knowledge…
Beautiful. The Blessed Beauty, Baha’u’llah, would be proud.
Wow 🤩Hi Beautiful Soul Brother Joe Hollis 🤚Hi Soul Brother Dr. Azra, I love how you speak so soothing calming, full of compassion. 🧝♀️⭐️🙏❤️🩹Universe is so magical, I am pretty sure me being on this channel it’s not coincidental, it’s synchronicity, Spirit continuously leading the way for me.

This is the most incredible night I have ever have , so full of joy and blessings. I will listen more of your channel Joe.. Sending you love & Light 🧝♀️🙏⭐️❤️🩹🦋👼🫶Full of gratitude me 🧝♀️🙏👼⭐️Namaste 🧝♀️⭐️🙏❤️🩹👼🦋🫶🌹✨
Just subscribed! Really enjoyed this video.Found this channel through Peter Santenellos video.
Your speaking to my heart. ❤️ Thankyou
Omg! Ive just recently learned about Joe! Im giddy now (seeing him on your channel)! He has so much knowledge to share and he's happy to share and teach. I'm humbled and grateful to be his student. It would be beyond fantastic to have health enough to live on his little part of the mountain and do some hands on learning from him! I truly hope the right people are brought to Joe so that he can leave his little part of paradise for others to continue what he started. 😊❤
Yes Amen….
Joe you are a guide into our hearts.. thank you so much
Joe Hollis is a treasure.
I also am in marvel of the great beauty of the earth and I'm grateful to the Creator for it everyday.
Absolutely! I'm amazed on a daily basis on the creativity and beauty our Creator's provided ❤
Extreme wisdom, extremely important.
Thank you both.
Thanks to all parties involved for this very well made interview. Wishing you all the very best 😊🌱
You are very welcome! It was so special spending such intimate time with Joe and Mountain Gardens to film this documentary.
Speechless.
I love nature, but this made me emotional a few times. Great work.
So refreshing to have found other like minded beings. Grateful for both of your insights. Joe your property is paradise.
Hi Joe, thank you
Every fiber & electron of my being NEEDS to come to this place
As mankind barrels forward toward the cliff of its own doing we must have a few that keep us connected with God's creation. Society will force us back to a simpler way of living.
I saw peters interview. Back for more. He has lived an amazing life🌻🦋
Feeds the soul ,Thankyou🍁
Respect due to Mr. Hollis
Joe you and Dr azra are such wise knowledgeable men I love everything your doing, my dream is to have my own homestead and start it with my family also. A lot if think we need all these things to live but we don’t,we form a connection with nature and go from there , such an inspiration to us all
Maybe stop dreaming and go to Joes garden with your family it would be a great start instead of dreaming about what might be but never is. Now Joe has passed on they need all the help they can get. Good luck and cheers from Western Australia 🙏🦘🦘
Thank you. Life is all in colours.
Beautiful film
Joe Is like a SAHM of 40 years that is happy and content. It seems to me he even blends in all that plant background. God bless you Joe!
The brain is the CPU 🧠 Intelligence comes from our true selves. Consciousness , awareness , the life force. Thought and the ego comes from the aura around us. If we are thinking too much , we need to meditate and remember who we are. You have a body , you have a mind , but you are the soul
I feel so much love listening and watching this video. Wonderfully created paradise!
Plants are our ancestors and our progeny
God's blessings to all Amen 😇🙏😇
Good health,spiritual happiness and an abundance of organic wealth.
Love Joe and his gardens
What a wonderful place. I wish I lived here. Inspires me more to learn and buy a some land to develop like this in the U.K. Magical. Gaia needs more beautiful souls doing this. ❤❤❤
I am so excited to follow your journey, Joe. I live in central Alabama and have a draw to nature and the holistic approach to living off the land and building a future connected to nature. Thank you for your years of teaching. I hope others take note.
I feel as if I’ve just been given a gift. A very special important gift. I will absolutely be there the very moment I am suppose to be. And as soon as I can be. 🤠❤️💡
He lives in a paradise.
We just gathered about 3/4 gallon of beauty berry this morning. I am going to make some jelly. I came in and rested and that was when I found Joe's videos and I cannot stop watching. I am going to have to stop soon and wash my berries, but fire or no fire Joe's dream will always live in the lives of the people he touches through his gardens and his ideals.
Joe Hollis has a lot Wisdom advice for LIFE
This is utterly beautiful and inspiring 🙏🦋❤️🌼
So Beautiful 👍❤️💯
Thank you 🙏
I’m setting here absolutely mesmerized that I was so so lucky and gifted enough today to have been shown this incredible video of a beautiful gentleman who is probably one of the only other men who I would absolutely love to wake up every day and have him give me some direction and I could go pound it out or I just would love to be guided by joe in the quest to learn more about medicinal plants. I’ve been doing gardening and landscaping my entire life even on the side as I worked several real jobs because there’s something inside my body that needs to be helping my plants… sick plants and tree’s are pretty ignored around a city area where I have lived and I’ve found after 53 years my soul needs to help those suffering trees and plants and I don’t need money… I’m definitely not a fan of the societal system that I’ve been born into… capitalism is that extremely cold and nasty system for trading some services or goods… I’m just not really happy about this world where everyone is always trying to win a argument or break down the other people and take advantage of their hard work or cut their projects value simply to save more fake wealth! Value and wealth and from your heart not your wallet
Picture it happening every day when you drift off to sleep. Imagination and loving intent can bring dreams into being. Best wishes from Australia
So beautiful
I love Joe as a fellow human
I came across Joe Hollis through a video from Pete Santerra. I've been independently studying permaculture, sustainable housing, organic gardening for more than 10 years and am interested in earthship builds, Cobb housing, earthbag shelter builds, etc. I admire Joe's philosphy on detaching from the monetary system and I think it's too bad that these "practitioners" have moved in and found a way to monetize his property by charging thousands of dollars (and I suspect to facilitate these drug induced hallucination camp experiences that have become popular), instead of helping fulfill Joe's dream of actually creating a communal living experience for like-minded lovers of Gaia.
Joe you are the real deal and a prime example of who we all should be looking up to and for for what we should or should not be doing in this life
Thanks for charing love it.
So grateful. I feel so much more in tune with the wild/garden that I am blessed to be a co-creator of. So Good to hear and experience you both.
What a beautiful place and this journey is such inspiration ❤❤❤
very beautiful and wise. Thank you.
What beautiful ideas and beautiful logic. How simple yet enormous love has been allowed to be a law into this man.
❤❤ I’m in awe of you sir. Absolute awe
You are so right! My relationship with my plants is very nurturing very loving.
I aspire daily to be like Joe! ❤❤❤
Merci Joe for your videos & kindness 💚💚 (please keep all his videos up. They are important knowledge/ wisdoms).
He died on November 7th 2023
This channel popped up so I'm watching this video now & wow, this is so beautifully photographed & relaxing chat with an amazing pair of blokes who know exactly what thier talking about.
This is a fractal world & Carbon based & we are made of the same ingredients as plants.
It's almost as if I'm watching a living example of the 9 prophecies of the book called " The celestine prophecy "
Love from a gardener in Australia. 😀
What a patient man you are Joe.
Mr. Joe Hollis visited our school at Long Ikang Baram Sarawak Malaysia when I was little. He was one of the PCB (Peace Corps Volunteers) back then. That must have been in the year between 1968-1970. Happy for him. Nice to hear that he is well and fine. Wishing him well and longevity. God blessing. Immanuel❤
You will be missed Mr.Hollis😢
I really appreciate the content and information from Joe and all involved. Thanks for sharing
❤❤❤❤❤ inspiring Joe.
Joe is a hero. I'm learning so much from his work!
Id love to come for a summer and learn from Joe. My mom's parents kept their own massive garden with an apple tree and chickens for years, my mom keeps her own modest garden, but the knowledge has been lost on her children. Id love to "get back to the future"
What a Beautiful man
Joe your the inspiration I’ve been looking for never cared about the Internet so I just found you in my older age ! I’m trying to learn gardening and herbs and would love to learn tinctures! I’ve made two. I’m been wanting to move as well … thinking off grid . However what you’ve done is a blessing and amazingly beautiful ! I wish I wouldn’t been so closed mined when I was in my thirties I’d be there with you now! Looking forward to your teachings as I’m eager to learn! Oh I’m 25 minutes from Chapel Hill my friend bread n born. Ready to spread wings to my calling.
