This is a great podcast for anyone interested in gardening, nature or just the world around them. Always a delight when a new episode drops. Ben is such an engaging host whether he’s in conversation with other experts and enthusiasts, or piloting a solo episode. Listeners will always find something to educate and entertain. Highly recommended.
