Diaries of a Lady Gardener

In this episode, I was really excited to get the chance to interview my sister, otherwise known as @the_gardenmum to share the exciting evolution of The Mini Gardeners Club. Tan has recently taken over leading as we look to expand the program across the UK and is doing such an amazing job of connecting with schools, community groups and young people to spread our message and get the next generation growing! I’ve been so motivated by her enthusiasm to get this project off the ground which has seen it go from a tiny seed of an idea to an absolute jungle of potential. There’s even a little exclusive announcement about one of the most fabulous events we’ll be at this year too so I hope you’ll enjoy!Hello and welcome to Diaries of a Lady Gardener podcast, hosted by me, the Lady Gardener. I can't quite believe we're on season 5 of this podcast, which came to life after I desperately wanted an excuse to hop on a call with my favourite Instagram gardeners to ask them all of my pressing questions. It has turned into an incredible community of plant-lovers with inspirational guests each and every week sharing invaluable information, and making me want to buy at least 10 new plants, seed packets, bare roots, tubers (and the rest of it) every episode. I hope you're ready for another fabulous season chatting to everyone from flower farmers and allotmenteers to some of the greatest garden gurus, listening to us chat about all the things we’ve done in the name of plants, from our biggest achievements to our fabulous garden fails.This season is sponsored by ACAI Outdoorwear, which if you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that barely a day goes by where I'm not dressed head to toe in their clothing whether I'm out at the allotment, on the farm - or even out for lunch! I love the way they perfectly balance style and performance with features such as shower resistance and thermal lining, features which are invaluable when you're someone who is working outside whatever the weather. If you're keen to get some ACAI garms for yourself, they've kindly offered podcast listeners an exclusive discount, so head to the website and use code 'DOALG20' for 20% off orders over £50.

In this episode, I got the pleasure of chatting to James, known as @gardendesignerjames on Instagram for something a little different. Whilst most episodes see conversations about a love of growing, this episode is focused more around the flow and design of gardens to create a sanctuary. At just 26, James has already achieved an incredible amount as an RHS show garden medallist and it was fantastic to get an insight into what it's like to be a garden designer. I really hope you'll enjoy hearing more about his story and be able to take away some ideas for your own outdoor spaces.Hello and welcome to Diaries of a Lady Gardener podcast, hosted by me, the Lady Gardener.

In this episode I got the chance to chat to Emily from @emilysgreendiary, a young lockdown gardener who found a love for growing things and has recently doubled her growing space. As one of our new The Mini Gardeners Club leaders, it was great to hear more about Emily’s journey and why she wanted to be a part of our pilot program, bringing gardening back into schools and inspiring children from a young age. I’m sure Emily’s gardening story with resonate with a lot of you, so I hope you’ll enjoy!Hello and welcome to Diaries of a Lady Gardener podcast, hosted by me, the Lady Gardener.
