We Like To Garden

This week we are talking about what we've been up to in the garden before getting stuck into a discussion about climbers. How to plant? What do they like? What are you planting it for? And lots of different varieties to try! We are also talking to our friend Lily about her new garden.

Welcome to the first show of 2022! This week we are catching up on what's been happening in our gardens and talking about our visit to a listener's garden, how to plant up big shady beds and at what point we give up on plants.

It's the festive season and for lots of us that means summer holidays! In today's episode we give tips and tricks on how to ensure you don't return from your holiday to a crispy, barren wasteland. Jack also joins us for bonsai chat (but maybe don't take his word for gospel because he hasn't had the best success with his plants...). Happy holidays everyone! 

This week we are talking gift guides for the gardeners in your life! Basically a list of things we covet so if you like anything in here for yourself, definitely forward this on to your loved ones as a hint!

Secret Gardens is a project created by Jane where passionate gardeners can share their knowledge and inspire others by hosting small groups of visitors for tours and workshops. This week Greer and Libby were fortunate enough to have visited Jane at her very special garden and sit down to chat with her on all things Secret Gardens and how she's worked with natives to create her own personal sa...

Libby is back in the seat and we couldn't be more excited!!  This week we catch up on what's coming up for us in the garden over the next couple of months and talk to our resident lawn care expert, Peter, on how to get the most out of your lawn this season. 

This week we have a special co-host, Jack Grenfell! Jack is an indoor plant enthusiast and is here to answer all your questions, like how to propagate, how to deal with fungus gnats, what to do with sunburnt leaves and more! 

This week Greer is joined by co-host extraordinaire, Megan!  On today's episode we talk about what we've been up to in the garden and try to explain the importance of, and correlation between, gardening when it comes to mental health.  We also had a great listener question about cottage vibes mixed with low maintenance.

You can buy P...

This week we talk about how to winter prune roses (we are still kind of scared to do our winter pruning but feeling a bit more confident), what kind of hedging to plant when you aren't a fan of the norm and what house plants are good for those rooms which don't get much light.

This week is all about composting! Libby takes us through all the basics and everything you need to know to start your own composting (you can do it under the sink!).  We also cold call Greer's sister and talk to her niece who is currently saving for a worm farm.  And Fred the cat makes two appearances but doesn't have any useful garden input.

This week we talk about what's up with soil, all the different types and things it needs, how to tell if you've got the good stuff or what you can add to make it better.  We also talk about what we've been up to and, of course, surprise a friend to see what they've been doing in their garden.

This week we talk about how to get the most out of your shady areas in the garden and what plants are ideal when thinking about allergies.  Of course, we also talk about what we've been up to in the garden and give one of our (un)lucky friends a call to see what they've been up to in their garden.
