    The chemistry between these two is fantastic. They each garden differently, are not rigid, and inspire me to keep my mind open and my creative juices flowing. Love it!

  • The Most Delightful Gardening Podcast

    This podcast is my favorite gardening companion. If you ever see me smiling and chuckling while deadheading perennials and pulling out weeds, it’s because Leslie and Marianne are keeping me company in the garden.

  • The best pod to listen to in the garden

    Let this podcast stand as a testament to the magic that can happen when friends, gardening and cocktails collide. With a pair of hosts who are equal parts knowledgeable and zany, every episode is a fun ride and the cocktails probably only have a little to do with it. No one is taking themselves too seriously here, thank goodness, because there’s quite enough of that in the gardening world already. Pour yourself a cocktail, get into the garden, and enjoy every episode.
