    Love this podcast & am genuinely happy when it pops up in my feed every Monday. Kate & Andy’s general normalness & enthusiasm to share their knowledge & experience makes you feel like you can have a go & so what if not everything works it’s about the journey & well being you get from it. Loved the NY resolutions episode I found the comment about slowing down, planning as we can just have everything now was a connection I’d not made before & feeds that ongoing sense of well being throughout they ... more

  • Just lovely

    I really enjoy this podcast and hope Kate & Andy continue it for as long as possible! Both the guest and ‘standard’ episodes are easy listening with helpful ideas and an encouraging dose of normalisation of our gardening experiences. Just lovely to listen to while pottering and decompress with. Some things I would like more of are tips about growing and harvesting the specific herbs and recipe suggestions.
