Back to the Roots
I’m Dan.
I left my tiny village for London lights, came home 15 years later to a house drowning in brambles and memories.
This channel is me bringing both back to life—one weed, one childhood story, one ridiculous mistake at a time.
If you like real gardens, real mess, and the kind of glow-up that takes seasons not filters, stick around.
The kettle’s on and the gate’s open. Come in.

Morning! I’m out filming one of the upcoming videos and couldn’t help but stop and share this — it’s a particularly beautiful, quiet morning here. Hope everyone’s having a great week.

Hey everyone! As promised, here is the one-year free Patreon winner @Serendipityfollower Please send me a DM on Instagram at @backtotharoots and I’ll send you the link. Or send me an email that is attached to my YouTube account.
Thank you everyone that commented on my last video!
On another note, the next video took way longer than expected to film, but it’s almost there and it was so worth it.
I hope to upload it sometimes next week.

This month has been incredibly productive!
Tomorrow at 1pm (GMT+2), a new episode is coming out.
This time, I’m doing a full property tour—with a bit of treasure hunting involved. It’s going to be fun, so tune in!
There’s also a little gift for you towards the end of the video 😊
See you tomorrow!

The sun is finally out on my side of the world, and so is my next video! 😁
It goes live tomorrow at 9 a.m. EET.
After a month of bad weather, a busy schedule, and a week of being sick, I’ve missed you all! 😊

The sun is out in my village!
While filming some scenes for the next video, Lilly decided to join me. After being sick for a while and stuck in the house, she’s finally out!
Have a great Saturday, everyone!
P.S. Next video up sometime next week.

Hey there! I’m currently working on the next video, where I’ll finally be answering all of the amazing questions you guys asked in the comments of my videos.
On that note, if you have any questions you’d like to ask, go ahead and leave them in the comments under this post — I’ll be more than happy to answer them.
P.S. Here’s a fun wallpaper I made of Lilly in an egg carton (from a real picture 😁). Enjoy!

There are 10k of us — that’s 26 times the population of my entire village 😁 Insane!
I’m honestly blown away. What started as a simple, personal journey two months ago, somehow turned into something shared with so many of you.
Thank you for being here, for watching, for your kind words, and for the support along the way. It really feels like a community, and I don’t take that for granted for a second.
Grateful and excited for what’s next. Thank you ❤️

My last short went crazy yesterday! 🤯
And because of that, I’d love to welcome and thank the 1.5k new people who’ve just joined this journey ❤️
Me and Osterley are forever thankful!
P.S. The next long-form episode is coming along nicely — can’t wait to share it with you tomorrow!

Hey there! So, it’s been a little while since my last post—about a month, actually—but I promise I wasn’t just twiddling my thumbs. I’ve been cooking up something special behind the scenes, and I’m pretty excited to share it with you.
So, here’s the scoop: I’ve started a little corner on Discord called the Back to the Roots community: discord.gg/pAxKrmfG7c
It’s basically a cozy spot where we can all hang out, chat about gardening, homesteading, village life, or just whatever’s on our minds. It’s kind of like inviting you all over to my virtual backyard for a chat. You’re totally welcome to pop in, say hi, and meet some like-minded folks.
Oh, and just a heads up about the next video: I’ve been working on a garden clean-up project, and it turned into a bit of a marathon. Turns out filming and cleaning at the same time is a bigger job than I thought! But I’m just about done editing, and the video’s dropping this Saturday. So definitely swing by and check it out when it’s up.
Can’t wait to see you in the new Discord space and catch up more soon!
