I live in the Southern US, and I love to garden…but I listen just as much for the gentle humor and kindness of the show. I learn so much, and it is a small corner of peace and goodwill in a hectic world.

WCS60 · Feb 2024

I was a novice gardener in 2016, and found this podcast to get some advice on pretty much everything gardening. Now I have listened to this show religiously for over seven years and it gets credit for 100% of my green growth. Much love from Los Angeles, CA.
