Love the podcast but can you please write the topic of the podcast in the title as well as the first name? I have to open each podcast and read a story before I know if it is a topic I want to listen to
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.
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
