Join me on a garden tour with an American expat in Saigon, Vietnam, as he shares his journey of creating a sustainable, eco-friendly tropical food garden. This humble expat has spent the last 8 years cultivating a thriving regenerative garden, focusing on sustainable living and repurposing materials to build a truly unique and self-sufficient space. Through his commitment to regenerative gardening, composting, and using very little city water, he has created a lush, productive garden that not only nourishes his family but also contributes to the local community. His garden is a beautiful example of how to live harmoniously with nature while providing an abundant, eco-friendly food source.
In this video, you'll get a firsthand look at the diverse crops he grows, including curly kale, pandan, garlic chives, mangoes, bananas, pink guava, and many more. He also grows a variety of Vietnamese herbs, such as fish mint, pepper mint, and grass jelly vine, along with vegetables like luffa, shallots, and black turmeric. The expat shares fascinating stories about the artifacts he’s discovered while sifting through the soil—war-time relics, old coins, and broken tiles, which he has creatively repurposed to build and enhance his garden. These items serve not only as historical reminders but also as symbols of his commitment to repurposing and reclaiming materials in the process of garden construction.
What makes this garden even more remarkable is his dedication to composting and regenerative farming practices. By building the soil with compost and using sustainable methods, he has transformed a neglected plot of land into a vibrant and productive space. His approach to regenerative gardening uses natural systems to restore the health of the soil and the surrounding ecosystem, minimizing the need for synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. This eco-friendly and sustainable living approach has made his garden a thriving, self-sustaining food source that shows what’s possible when you work in harmony with nature.
Whether you're interested in composting, regenerative gardening, or simply want to learn how to grow your own food in a tropical climate, this garden tour offers plenty of inspiration. It’s a perfect example of how you can build a resilient, thriving food garden that nourishes both the body and the soul.
