  • Inspiration!

    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 👏👏👏👏👏

  • Dan Pearson

    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Wonderful, informative podcast

    I may not be the target audience (as a fairly young American listener), but I adore this podcast. The host asks great questions of guests and facilitates a spirit of learning. Many of the plants discussed are ones I can’t grow in my area of the southeastern US, but I enjoy the insights all the same. Thank you!
