This video shows the Before and After story of how our garden has transformed over twelve years. We were looking through old photos and couldn’t believe the change. Hope you find it inspiring.
The garden is now Danu’s Irish Herb Garden and you can find out more about us at https://www.danusirishherbgarden.com/
If you are interested in learning more about the wild medicinal plants that grow and how to use them, take a look at the herbal medicine courses I offer
https://www.danusirishherbgarden.com/hawthorn-academy/ and there is a digital course if you live too far away to attend in person.
An Introduction to Herbal Medicine – A 6 Month Digital Course
I am also very interested in the “old ways” and the plant spirits so I offer a course drawing from shamanic and druidic practice – the Wise Woman Way training – https://www.danusirishherbgarden.com/wise-woman-way/
This is a transpersonal course with the objective of connecting with the Divine Feminine within.
I hope you enjoyed the music which is by Lol Hardiman – you can find him here https://www.youtube.com/@lolhardiman5247 and here

I wish you could be commissioned to take over all urban planning! Imagine what our cities could look like 🙂 Thanks for sharing your beautiful story.
Yes, I need to just be – in the garden. I tend to work, work, work and never take the time to sit with it! My husband takes his coffee outside early in morning and walks around "checking" on all the fruit trees, bushes and plants. I need to join him!
You have done so much there! Looks amazing. Have a blessed week.
Hello Terri…lovely. Thank you for the back history of your land. I’m so happy that you and Colette are friends. I love her so much and I love her story. Much love to you, your family, your land and your precious dogs. Have a wonderful week
Wow, thank you so much for this incredible and inspirational video. You have accomplished so much with your land and you can tell how much your efforts are appreciated by Mother Nature. Truly a labor of love. Blessings xx

Magical transformation 💜💜
This is a joy to watch especially as I live in a city tenement. At least I have a beautiful tree to look out on. I love seeing the growth and development in your garden, your cats and dogs, and all the information about herbal medicine. Thank you both for this.🥰💜💫
Amazing in that rocky soil, with that salty wind. I just have tired soil. Inspiring!
Your work and love have had transformational effects! You deserve to kick back and really, truly appreciate the mark you have made on Mother Earth!
amazing! the changes are beautiful and reflect your spiritual connections to the land. Such a wonderful sanctuary for you and nature. Plus all of the healing herbs you've grown. Very inspiring. I've made your green soup and am making another batch today! It's delicious.
A wonderful transformation! Inspiring ❤
Your dogs are so cute. They stay close to you. Your place looked almost as ugly as mine did over 13 years ago. Yes. It takes years for nature to recover (even if you are trying to help).
When we lived deeper into the country, mother grew many kinds of flowers, trees, and a big kitchen garden, My Grandfather lived on the much larger farm next to ours. He grew fields of corn, tobacco, hemp, and many kitchen gardens. He had a large fruit tree orchard, bees (and bee hives), and his magical (to me) herb garden. There were also cows, mules, chickens, ducks, rabbits, dogs, and cats. Both farms were wonderful places to be as a child. With the passing of my grandfather, and later my parents, both farms disappeared. A large Public School building now sits on a good part of what was my grandfather's farm.
However, I now live in a growing subdivision. My house was the first house built here; and, a full acre of land came with my house (mostly hillside). There was no grass here when I moved in. There was the edge of the woods next to my drive way (a small part of the woods is mine). It has taken me over 13 years to get enough trees established to have a little shade in my front yard, back yard, and on the half acre garden plot (which now has one pear tree and one apple tree doing very well on it). If every tree I planted had lived and grown, I would have a fruit orchard and herb garden there now. I just keep trying. When something that I planted does not live and thrive (I don't buy that again, and try something else). Now that I know my land better, it is time to start building raised gardens. It has to be raised gardens; because, we have flash flooding that washes away top soil and many things; Plus flooding does bring in things that I may not want (like trash, poison ivy, and ground ivy).
The ground ivy is a beautiful plant. Someone told me that the leaves are used to make tea. Do you grow ground ivy with the round lacy-like leaves, and dark blue/purple flowers? It has a strong smell when walked on or cut. It thrives here, is greener than grass, and is a great ground cover. I think it may be a wild native plant. It grew on both my parents'and grandfather's farms (wild under the shade trees).
a lovely and fascinating video, thank you for sharing your outdoor experience, peace out from holland, we now have your two " tincture " books and have begun in our small way, uh….along the way…..
Your love made a miracle!
Fabulous! x
Dear Terri, What a lovely film! I lost myself in your garden and all the way through I dreamed about how I might pour more love into my own. Thank you for sharing all the love and beauty in your garden and for your healing, inspiring messages!
I’m on my way to achieving my garden dream. A foxglove has popped up randomly, I never planted one but it’s there
Congratulations Terri! A beautiful example of the miracles that love can make. 😍🤩💚
Oh Teri, a huge thank you for sharing the life span of your garden. What an inspiration watching your juvenile garden growing into a teenager. I hadn’t realised what a transformation you have made.
Just so beautiful how it’s grown with you as a family and for you as you live on xxx
Thank you for sharing all you have done. What a beautiful wildlife haven you have created. Amazing to see the difference you have made…so much love and time. 💚💚💚
Thanks for the historical tour. Transformation is so amazing with some human nurturing over beautiful time. Here my garden keeps me in wonderland too. Enjoy your wonderful garden. Cheers!
What a marvellous creation 🧡 Has your inspiration spread to your neighbours?
It’s amazing what just a little nurturing from humans can encourage Mother Earth to abundance.
Learning to take time to observe is such a beautiful process and so healing for us and for the Grande Dame… You are instead La Femme qui plantait les arbres … https://youtu.be/epTqUnKsuUY… as in Jean Gioni’s famous animation from so many years ago. Such inspiration!
Absolutely gorgeous! 😍❤️ Love your piece of paradise 🌳🌿🍀
Absolutely amazing what you both have done!Keep planting as though your life depends on it For it does.From Colette
Wow! When you see the old photos isn’t the transformation amazing?! Your loving the land, taking care of it is obvious and affirming of what we can do. Thank you for sharing this Terri.🍀🍀🐇
Seeing this was wonderful! It truly is amazing how the Earth, Plants and People can come together and create such beauty…all it takes is the will and nurturing each other to give birth of something so spectacular! Thanks for sharing the evolution of your little Paradise.
So really lovely to see your before & after garden. Enjoy Terri & thank you 🏴
