  • Recipe for a good day

    This podcast is my secret weapon to start the day off right. It feels more like a trip to Filoli for my ears than a gardening podcast. The crunching of the gravel, Willa’s description of what she’s seeing, and the casual conversation style draw the listener in to feel apart of the experience. Mornings in Filoli is as informative as it is charming, and leaves me with a sense of inspiration to take on the day.

    My only complaint is the frequency. I would love more!

  • Walking the dog

    A right foot to start the day is so important to me. Every so often I tune in for the latest episode, AirPods of course, and am delighted to get my brain kickstarted on the hobby of gardening that I will, some day, undoubtedly pick up. Until then, I’m delighted to learn and hear from the experts. Gentle, relaxing, eloquent, and best served with a morning coffee while walking the dog through my sleepy neighborhood.

    More please.

Willa has a delightful quality to her as do all the horticulturists and others at Filoli who obviously love their work. From learning about the history of FIloli, getting gardening t... more

  • Relaxing, immersive layers of audio

    I just love this show. I enjoy listening at the end of a long day when I want something soothing and immersive but educational too. It’s also fun to listen while getting acupuncture or on a flight. It’s an interesting and enjoyable distraction but the voices and stories keep me calm. I visited Filoli last year so that helped me visualize some of the places where the interviews take place. But it’s just such a pleasant show with the nature sounds and useful commentary about cultivating plants. I’... more
