- Chicken soup for the gardening soul
Just discovered this podcast and am binge listening all the past episodes. It’s essentially a guided daydream about all the incredible possibilities that could be wrapped up in someone’s dream garden. It’s a heartwarming cup of chicken soup for the gardeners soul. Love love love it.

While recovering from surgery I discovered your pod and fell in love and in inspiration. I could sit in my garden, listen to the possibilities, and redesign my garden. I realized my garden is pretty special but with some tweaks I can make it extraordinary. Thank you and congrats on a wonderful podcast 👏👏👏👏👏

Absolutely loved this episode. Having read all of his books, it’s so exciting to hear him speak so highly of North American native woodland plants. Living in Canada, it fills my heart to hear that he is so fond of them. Terrifically excited to hear about his plans for the Beth Chatto Gardens.
Apple Podcasts5TezalizardCanada10 months ago - Not to my liking!
The Podcast guests are interesting, some are my gardening hero's and I would have liked to listen to more but the adverts attached to these podcasts are shoddy brands. Businesses that do not reflect well on the Garden Illustrate brand. You would never see these adverts within the magazine, so why have them on your associated podcast? Gardening takes us out of the busy world we live in. Then you come to listen to your gardening hero on a podcast, to be reminded that I need weight loss and burger... more

United Kingdom10 months ago - Focus on gardening more.
Loved this podcast until the recent one with Jo Thompson where a huge portion of the podcast consisted of gender politics rather than gardening/design. This episode left me feeling rather downcast about my future in garden design from a female perspective. Focus more on horticulture please.
