  • Probably the best podcast in the world

    I’m a gardener and therefore acknowledge perhaps a touch of bias, but this is the best b podcast I’ve encountered… and no advertising, for which I’m so grateful (you can donate, and who wouldn’t want to?).

  • My absolute favourite gardening podcast

    Brilliant presentation, interesting subjects and interviews. Sarah brings out the best in her guests, and covers a wide range of subjects and views

    She has a lovely voice and accent, which helps.

    Even when views are expressed which I don’t necessarily agree with, she covers them in such a sensible and sensitive way that it doesn’t negatively impact anyone
