Sweetpea and BearA Companion podcast for Gardeners' World viewers, featuring weekly recaps and Chit-Chats with guests & presenters from the programme
A name that came about after we laboriously tackled a weed-infested, overgrown, black-run-steep patch of field into something vaguely resembling a garden. Literal blood, sweat and tears were spent in the process but once the beds were built, the plants began to grow... more

United Statesa year ago - My favourite gardening podcast
I love this podcast! It has all the elements of a perfect garden in itself .. relaxing, nurturing, gently educational and the beautiful relationship between Mum and Daughter adds the colour and the sunshine. Listening in every week to compare thoughts on Gardeners World and to find more info and the names of plants which GW can sometimes forget to add in .. PS I totally agree Nick Bailey’s impressive and important Gardeners World Live garden deserved more than a derisory 3minute segment, it... more

United Kingdoma year ago - Delia may west
I felt so honoured to be invited by Bear and Sweetpea for a chit chat with them. Having never listened to a podcast before I was hooked from the minute I started listening to some of their previous chats before I spoke with them myself. It was like chatting to life long friends and I adore their relaxed and cosy conversational style it’s feels like your sat around a table all together just having fun. Their research and knowledge into the people they interview beforehand makes it so much more pe... more
Apple Podcasts5Honehill dreamingUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Good Ol Chit Chat
Over my 36 career in geology and soils I have had the great pleasure of bringing on new talent, and my constant word of advice is ‘differentiation’. Do someone different from the rest. Well Sweetpea and Bear are the exemplars of that virtue. You get so much more out of a relaxed chit chat and can end up exploring interesting avenues you hadn’t intended to, which brings added colour and excitement. The dynamic between Sweetpea and Bear is beautiful and I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to grab a ... more
