As a beginning gardener in Wisconsin, this podcast has been super informative for me. Especially since most YouTube garden content creators seem to be in California or the South, it’s nice to get the Wisconsin perspective (very different growing seasons!) If you’re into gardening, esp if you’re in the Midwest, I highly recommend Garden Talk.
An informative show on a variety of gardening topics, with affable, interesting hosts and guests. A great listen for people who have an interest in gardening, wherever they might live (I, for example, am a Utahn).
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
