    I love this great podcast. Madeleine and Emily have a gorgeous chat about plants, flowers, wine, beer, cows, chooks, books, weeds and extraordinary growers, landscapers, florists, family life, all the while having fun together. These happy Tassie girls make me smile, it’s like opening the door and letting laughter in. Only problem…I wish they gardened in Queensland too!! Divine. Love it. Wish I could hug you both!

  • Love it but…

    This is such a great podcast, fun, lively, useful but … I find the whole wine and cocktail thing a bit tedious and out of touch considering how many people are turning away from alcohol. Any hoo, hoorah for the capacity to fast forward through the one bit that irritates me 🤭

    Otherwise, keep up the great work. Awesome guests 🤍
