Huw Richards no dig garden tour - with Morag gamble

What strikes you first about Huw when you meet him is how grounded, focussed and content his is, and what a wonderful role model his is for young people. He absolutely loves growing food and doing it naturally. He is passionate about local food and regenerative practices.

He has been making gardening youtube videos since he was 12 and now, at 20, this continues to be his passion, and his work too.

He's now written two excellent books, is a popular speaker and an advocate for permaculture and no-dig gardening - inspiring a new generation of gardeners.

Huw warmly welcomed me into his garden in Wales this year and chatted openly about why he loves this way of life, and the many reasons why he so highly recommends gardening to young people.

Huw's books are:

Yes Huw!!!! Our 5 kids are all involved. We homeschool and because of you and other gardeners inspiring videos, we’ve undertaken a massive gardening project on 1 acre of our land. Because we’re mostly on rock we’ve built a number of raised beds. We’ve had about 10 or so hot composts since last spring and collected coffee grinds, horse manure and hundreds of yard waste bags full of leaves and grass clippings! We are well on our way and the kids are getting an amazing education! Thanks for posting this guys!!!! From Nova Scotia

This is amazing! Morag with Huw and just watched Charles Dowding too, great to see as I'm in the uk and love them so much, such a huge contribution to us all and they have given me so much confidence growing food. As C G says below, just add Liz Zorab and we're in garden heaven!

[lynmaunsell]

Such an inspiring young man. I’m one of the grandmothers that bought his book 😊

[martyken]

He's an extraordinary young man that has found his passion and skill early on, he really does make allotmenteering and small scale growing accessible.

Two of my favourite gardening teachers together! Just add in Liz Zorab to make it a trifecta. 😊

I love Huw's garden, channel and all the wisdom he shares!
It is important to get kids involved, and making it fun! My 10 year old grandson enjoys trying new tastes, and loves purslane!
Last week I had him and his sister help water each morning, before tennis camp ...there was purslane by the courts, which tickled him!

[aliaroberts]

Two great gardeners! Tu so much for sharing the gravity tip- practical and efficient! Now, Morag, you just need to come visit the United States! I could really use your expertise on a project/two!

Followed Huw for quite some time now. Amazing channel he has, great collab. I couldn't believe he's only 20...I thought he's been gardening for decades it seemed. I am mid twenties and thought he was somewhere around there... a lot of experience for being so young.

[radjenthakoer]

Gardening definitely connects all kind of people from of kind all places.

[rebeccawilliams]

Huw's enthusiasm is very infectious!

[lyndalwestblade]

I've been watching Huw's channel a lot this year... he seems to have grown and changed so much in how he gardens this year. Permaculture is taking over his garden more and more.

[charleyfolkes]

Wow, you really get around the world and interview the best in this type community !
I like this because all these different areas and growers present unique ideas, problems
and solutions and it just kinda strengthens the DNA ! I struggled so long with my own garden I really appreciate the knowledge you pass along !
I sense you were a little cold over there !

[redleafgold]

Lovely to see you talking to Huw because I’ve seen you both separately. Such a lovely intimate chat that has made me feel very optimistic about the future. Thank you x

[michaeltester]

Two very interesting, passionate, inspirational and articulate people. I’m heading over to Huw’s channel. It really fills me with joy and hope to find that there are people out there who think the same way as me.

[BaruchHaShem]

I work a job I hate and live for the weekend so I can be in my garden! 😀

[mattsmith]

I also follow Hugh, being a fellow countryman…. Loving your content too… living in Western Australia. Any solutions for Patterson’s Curse ?

[HerbHillFarm]

Like video very much, thank you for it. Can I ask what kinda microphone you use? Quality of sounds was great even windy weather. :)

[danennis]

Yep, two of the best. No doubt. Please, come visit my garden! I'll put you up in Philly!
