  • Love Danielle & Carol!

    I stumbled on this podcast through a post on Instagram about two years ago and it is such a welcome addition to my podcast queue! I’m always learning something new with each episode.

  • LOVE Danielle!

    I just had to respond the previous post— we know what you were suggesting. I love Danielle and the format with Carol and Danielle together. Danielle is a treasure. She is smart and funny and I don’t care if her voice isn’t perfect for broadcasting. Gardeners are open minded and are not bothered by silly things like this. Danielle, we love you and we want you to stay!

Episode 181: Plants You Can’t Kill
Q: What is it about the climate or the water availability, or what is it that makes it good to have plants you can't kill in your part of the country?
