Cool!
GREAT VIDEO~ GREAT IDEA ~ NEED TO WORK ON THE SOUND ~ MUSIC COMES IN AND OUT TO LOUD.
I'm trying to figure out how six idiots disliked this wonderful video? Cheers mate on the great job! She is awesome! :)
Can we all as people just help if you can and say thanks for doing such a great job instead of worrying about last names the music just be thankful. God had given a blessing and blessing are shared for anyone who want em. GOD. BLESS THIS YOUNG LADY FOR DOING THIS
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BLESSINGS. THANK. YOU
very nice person
I'm 66 yrs old - When I was growing up, everybody's backyard looked like this -- great to see you working for & teaching real food in your neighbourhood -- You're right that growing our own food is power -- Carry on !!
That’s so enlightening to hear about backyards when you were young! How revealing!
good for this gal to bring back those good practices.
This made me cry.... This ONE woman’s contribution to her community’s health and well-being is one beautiful step towards our collective healing. I LOVE that she mentioned that our ancestors’ wisdom is in us. It is. Epigenetics has even shown that we carry the memories of our ancestors! Our ancestors live through us... And that is why she received so much more support in accomplishing this than she expected.... Cuz the ancestors showed up to help too!! All they needed was a way.
God want people to go back to Eden wherever we are for food and medicine greedy people are destroying others by poisonous medicine to enrich themselves when God has everything in nature for remedy be blessed
She’s my inspiration! I hope to do this in Minneapolis
you can do it!
I agree and I plan to do the same.
Get out of here, I was thinking of contacting her for help. I'm in Minneapolis TOO!!
I'm in a suburb of Minneapolis and would love if our community did something like this. We should all be growing something, anything. Even a window garden of herbs is better than nothing. I used the flower beds here to grow potatoes the lazy way last summer. There wasnt much to harvest but i only did a little bit of weeding and will try again this year.
@@greatestever8976 , I tried bucket gardening last summer. I had some success and flops. I will try again this summer.
Knowing how to grow your own food, you will never go hungry. 😎
One person CAN make a difference! Thank you for your love and inspiration of the Earth and your desire to contribute to your community!
God bless you sweetheart this what we were Created to do we must go back to the land Jackie Shalom
Yes indeed!
Nkoula, i feel your love for the earth and community. Thank you Rob for sharing her inspiring life and work
Beautiful! Just beautiful. You are a Light shining on our new way forward.
Love the little boy with the tomatoes and the grin! Wonderful work!
Beautiful to see people fighting back by growing their own food. The less we depend on this system that doesn’t really care about its people, the better.
Yess sis, you are doing an amazing job. Let's take it back to the garden of Eden, the way God intended.
THIS is the kind of story that should be featured on the news! Stories that give us hope, empowerment, and a sense of community. Way to go Nkoula! To have given so much and still be so young, she is a shining example!
We always hear about "food security", but if that security still leaves you dependent on a system that cares more about your money than your well-being, it's no security at all. She is spot on when she says we need food sovereignty. And it IS within our grasp.

Love this! I just moved into a smaller house and outa no where I'm growing my own flowers, herbs and vegetables.
Thank you so much for this amazing information 🌿🌱💐💖
It's great to help city people reconnect with each other and reconnect with nature.
Much love sister. Education is everything. Thank you.
Agree and more as shown the project is only for the good months and the questions is what happpens in winter. No Green houses onlybplanting beds in that project. Although that is a start
Thanks for highlighting other people doing great things and giving their time to talk
I hope growblackhudson continues to get more support
Outstanding! She is a gift and a gift that gives continuous thank you to her and to sharing her story!
What you're are doing is a beautiful thing. It is indeed, so important to grow your own organic foods, especially now. God bless you my dear and your neighbourhood
Gracias, saludos desde argentina
That woman is amazing great story to wake up to
That precious little boy picking food is beautiful.
She's 100% right and love how close she is too me
Inspiration. Ethical. Beautiful. Energetic. Healthy. Trustworthy. An angel in Hudson. Yeah
I feel blessed to have seen such a positive message. Nkoula you are an angel. I know from experience that most Black neighborhoods are food deserts, because city councils refuse to allow grocery stores in them. We must go back to growing our own food. Much respect and love for you and Rob Greenfield.
She's our inspiration in the UK. We have established two Earth Gardens. Peace, blessings and thank you. 😊💪🏾
I'm on the same journey
So inspiring. I wanna do that in Michigan.✌️❤️🌱
BEAUTIFUL! INSPIRATIONAL! Thanks for sharing Nkoula’s story, Rob ☺️
TRULY inspiring! I have access to an (organic) allotment garden myself, only 22 square meters, but still I am able to grow carrots, red beets, pumpkins, radishes, roman cale, swiss chard etc. I often donate to some of my colleagues, who appreciate my little gifts. Poor nutrition lead to so many things, physical and mental diseases alike. Soo good to see that you are spreading the "green gospel" to your neighbours. Greetings from Oslo, Norway.
I feel your love ❤️
Thank you for sharing amazing stories like this
Aah seeing this warms my heart.
wow a great person you are sir rob greenfield, for sharing this idea, that never anyone done it in limited sources
The world needs more beautiful people like her. Thank you Rob for Blessing us with this video.
An ex addict in My Neighborhood rescues old or retired laying cickens to never ho hungry. With the eggs he makes homemade pasta, pudding, and everything he can think of, plus he usually has extra for fellow struggling people and even some to sell to us! Besides that he grows tomatoes and other veg.
What an amazingly beautiful person, inside and out 💜
love it that our collective vision is being manifested by people around the world
I struggle with manifesting movement of new healthy roots but people like Nkoula keeps me motivated to keep going :)
step by step in organic healthy way
This is awesome. I love seeing this. We need neighborhood gardens everywhere across the land. You are doing the most important work. Stay in the blessing!
This is a good model and an important message for all of us to face future global food and beverage crisises successfully. I wish her beautiful, healthy and wealthy life. greetings and love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 💖🙏💐
Beauty is a garden and beautiful are the gardeners.
Just came across this in a YT recommended... I love that your last name is Greenfield and you showcased a woman who is helping her community by growing greens and other food from the earth...good for you, good for Nkuoa and her community! Thank you. 😊
This is so inspiring I love gardening myself and growing my own food I cn relate to this I love you sis all the way from Africa!!! Be blessed abundantly!
Thanks for sharing this. This is something worth seeing, talking about, learning about. This is community, nature, caring, learning, sharing, building a neighborhood, teaching and inspiring children, connecting with elderly. This is something good.
This woman is awesome. Wow! By far the best thing I have seen or heard this week! This is like the pebble that u drop in the pond. The ripples expand outward.
We need more people like that! How beautiful❤
Within 30 seconds I was in tears. I look up to this woman
Very impressive.. when you help your community you help yourself too.. definitely agree food is been used as a weapon..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Was that a weed? lol I am ecstatic to see that people are starting to realize their potential and seeing the joy and pride of growing one's own food.
@1:52. Yup.
Me too, its good to see!
Is yucca
nope
Amazing....I am definitely inspired.
She is so positive and so inspirational. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful!
Incredible! She’s such an inspiration!
I have a yard. I wished that I knew how to find someone to teach me how to make and show me how to do gardening in my area. 😊 I am living in Spanaway Washington if there is anyone here that could help me. I sure would appreciate this. 🙏🙏🙏
Incredible!!
This is awesome and I'm glad there are people doing this. Getting fresh food that you grow is good for you and those that you feed. Much respect to you and stay blessed.
...am I the only one having tears in my eyes seeing #generations harvesting & enjoying Nature together ? Where I live #generations only wearing ugly masks together... so I still see this as a big motivation & reminder... Thanks ! 1
Your work is inspiring too. Need to have more people like her in our neighborhoods.
what a positive movement. thank you for sharing this.
I just love this😄
I love what she's doing. When I was a kid in Philly, there were community gardens on corners of city blocks so that everyone could eat. Even though other problems needed to be addressed, there was always something to eat.
Kudos to this woman!
This is very wholesome
Just like Whole Foods 😊♥️🌏🌻🌟
Thank you for sharing this!
This is beautiful! Utterly beautiful!!
Sir lots of love from India
Very inspirational, love it!
absolutely amazing!
I appreciate how gardening and growing food can connect people and communities together while becoming more food secure. It's also heart warming to see the young and the old working together to not only grow food but to develop deeper connections. 🙏🏻❣🦋
Great great and great. I don’t have enough words to describe and appreciate your efforts.
Oh Rob I love your YT contents, it really gives me an idea to be self sufficient soonest. I wish I could have a time to visit FL.
My mom's yard was and is always seen as a food forest. As a pastor she also made sure to fill the church's yard with loads of fruit trees and vegetables. And this way she knows people in the community have fresh food. She lives on an island that imports most of their food, so this makes me so happy to see people growing everywhere now. Due to her, I have always have something growing. I am now a balcony gardener, and finally also have a community garden. We plan to grow even more of our own.
Amazing!! Thank you for sharing this great video :D
What an incredible inspiration!!!
I know her!!
Excellente initiative !
What a loving and generous thing she is doing in her community. I agree, the packaged food and GMO foods are so unhealthy for us, yet the store shelves are filled with them.
Beautiful work !!!
She is an amazing person.
This woman is going straight to heaven for the great work she doing God bless you 🙏😇😇💯
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with your family
Wonderful!!
Beautiful!!
Amazing! What a wonderful and inspiring woman!
This is the way people because these Billionaires are trying to buy up all the land, we must learn & teach as communities now more than ever. Keep the momentum going! #OneLove
Great
What a great example of restoring comunities and also creating indepence and health,wish her all the best .❤
Love this🙏🏽
You are doing great work. Well done. People will never be hungry anymore if they go back to the land. Take care of the land and it will take care of you. Spending time with nature is one of the greatest stress healers. God bless you.
"we gotta take the power back!"
What a beautiful woman, how loving ❤️
Love it 😊🙏♥️🌏🌻🦋🌟
Inspiring. Thank you. I have been trying to find a way to use what I have learned via TH-cam and from elderly family members who grow up gardening in South Carolina as a way of life but haven't gardened in years. I've built 3 gardens outside of my own this year and have encouraged others to the garden as well. it brings me so much joy and community. Again, thank you for helping me find a way to do something I enjoy. My deceased grandfather enjoyed farming 200 acres in South Carolina and I feel he has been pushing me to do this for some years now.
Hats off to this wonderful woman who is making the world a better place to live. Need more like her.😊
Wow brilliant ! Thank hope to do this in England . I’m patiently waiting for my permaculture course to begin so I can do this where ever I go . Healthy homegrown food . Happy people too . ❤️ gardening builds confidences and pleasures of tasting fresh veg !!
#pledgetoplant
Thank you....🙏❤🌍🌿!
Finally the feel of leafy plan and dirt
This is beautiful and very inspiring! I would love to volunteer time for a project like this. I wish I lived nearby.
Plus the spiritual and emotional aspect of making the most of our resources, and seeing ourselves as resources
Cooking and gathering
Excellent! This young lady is crushing! You bears seeing this?
Bravo Nkoula,That's what we should all be doing.
What an inspirational story, she is truly divine! Bless her in health, joy and infinite love❤️
