With lots of enthusiasm and very little know how, Emily and Maddie love chatting about gardening, often with a glass of wine or cocktail in hand. In each fortnightly episode, we speak to people who inspire us in the garden, in order to unearth some much needed knowledge.

  • Gardening’s greatest gifts

    1st podcast review but I’ll tell anyone who will listen, this pod is amazing. I save each episode as my treat during Mat leave, which has been a season of little gardening, but you two give me a great gardening fix! Keep up the incredible work ladies.
