I am sharing this story with good intentions and energy, so that it inspires many people around this wonderful planet to grow their own food. Wonderful, colourful, natural, clean organic food, straight from the source. I would love to see folk Reconnect with their community and experience for themselves what I call “The Feel Good Factor”. Witnessing through my lens, the personal experience I have lived with the land and my new community here in Northern New South Wales, Australia since March 2020.
I gratefully acknowledge the initial contribution given by the 510 Kickstarter Backers and also my ongoing Patrons. You have given me the courage and financial freedom to create this film and share the journey to folk beyond TWG community. Creative success only needs support to succeed, and everyone from Kickstarter did that for TWG. I`m so very grateful. THANK YOU, REALLY!!!
Please write your feedback in the comments, and share with us YOUR insights and feelings about the work. I welcome you to share this film with all your social media friends.
I would like to offer my film to whoever sees it over Christmas.
Let’s call it “a gift”, or even better as someone has said, “a love letter to Mother Earth”! That was a nice quote from a review from a Weedy Watcher who has seen the film already.
After Christmas, I`m trusting that those folk who have loved it (during the PUBLIC 42 hour window) will become TWG advocates who spread the word about my film throughout their community. The more people who talk about this film the better.
I feel very proud. I am relieved and full of love and feelings of support from many of you out there who have shared your time, money and encouraging words during my challenging project. I have lost two hard drives with valuable footage. My computer has crashed and fried TWICE during the process of editing these past few months.
I have NEVER made a feature film for a cinema before in my life, so there have been sooo many things to learn along the way. Even now that it is finished and uploaded, I notice a bloody spelling mistake at the very end. “Staring” is spelt with two rr`s! I wonder IF people will notice, before it lands on Google play and becomes like a digital mango tree that I`ll be able to harvest…just like the pumpkins…but different 😉
With that, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy new year.
May all your gardens become your paradise on Earth.
Love and photon particles
Weedy AKA David Trood

Just wonderful… Thank you so much 😀
That was beautiful weedy – your stuff touches me. I am glad I had a tiny part in helping you get this film together. I am creating my own little patch of garden in a small courtyard in Scarborough perth. It gives me joy to work in it, look at it and eat the things I am growing in it. Much love from me.
Your audio is low and seems like bg music is overwhelming a bit

Bloody marvellous!
Dear David, Thank you so much for your work brother! Absolutely inspirational and beautiful!
wow wow wow so much richer for getting to know you for the past hour thank you for sharing your story our story
really sick man!!! been watching thee channel since the begining
What an amazing gift you have given us the viewers. This beautiful film and the incredible pictures and imagery throughout. I am one person that needed this tonight a reset and focus on the future. I have lost my way of recent, give up on my own garden journey after spinal surgery a few months back and just some on going health problems. To just unwind and relax and watch this film was the kick up the backside I think I needed. So thank you David Mr Weedy for the reset and to listen to your voice is just total relaxation. Also living in the area of the Northern Rivers is Gods County my homeland for 39 years.
So to yourself and Heather have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.
Desde España, gracias por tan maravilloso regalo. Eres pura inspiración. Mis más honestos respetos hacia tu proyecto tan regenerativo con la tierra, nuestro planeta y para el alma. Gracias Weedy.
Only one word: Awesome!!!
Brilliant David! you must be so proud, so many people will be brought a lovely story and this will bring so much joy to so many, Merci from Canada eh!
Just saw the thumbnail and had to comment on how cool it looked. Looking forward to enjoying this movie.
I dont wanna know how many hours of editing went into this masterpiece! This was one of the most soothing documentaries i ever watched! Big thanks from Switzerland mate 🙂
That put a huge grin on my face when you took the kangaroo to put in your garden.
David, you’ve absolutely done it again. Brilliant 🎥! I’m glad you’ve found your tribe. Sure there are bits in life that we can accomplish on our own but what good is it all if we don’t have a neighbor, a love, a friend to share it with.
May all of the celestial bodies continue to guide you. May the earth remain firm under your feet. And may the new year to come fill us all with a tremendous sense of hope.
🎹 life’s what you make it, celebrate it, anticipate it, yesterday’s faded, nothing can change it, life’s what you make it🎼.
Many blessings to all❤🌸🌿🦋
Beautiful ❤
That was a joy to my Christmas eve eve soul thank you Earthling!!!
@Mr Weedy I'm not even minute in and am so heart mushy at your visually stunning content and manner of production. I'm so in awe of your title and the opening round sun/carrot slice resemblance that I'm paused before a minute in to tell you I get it. Lol you're AMAZING! Edit
I cant get over this. I feel your same need for silence of nature.
So amazing!!! What a beautiful human you are!! Your pictures and your way of telling stories really touches my heart!
Thank you so much for sharing your view on life on this beautiful planet! 💚🌱🌍

Thank you for this gift Sir. This entire journey, from when I stumbled upon your channel, was a treat!
Having watched the installments, it was wonderful to see it come together in this film – loved it!
Beautiful, in every aspect.
David I am in tears now as I write. What a beautiful film and life you have shared with us! If only we could embrace the nurturing of the earth and all its inhabitants, what a wonderful, loving and peaceful place it would be.
Exquisite! Beautifully filmed and such a pleasure to watch. I live in Ohio and as I'm writing this it's -4 degrees Fahrenheit, cloudy with gusty winds so this was a breath of fresh air! Keep up the good work and know that you are an inspiration!! 🙏🕉
Well done! Thank you so much.
The movie was exactly what I had hoped it would be. Thank you. I just watched it with my family.
i lost myself for a long while.
