Feeling warm and fuzzy…and motivated
That was simply lovely 😌
My husband and sister have chronic, debilitating illnesses. I’m the carer. I need the garden for my mental health as much as they do. Listening to you both, who have such a warm way of chatting, I found it to be so soothing in content, and kindness.
Thank you 🙏 and I can’t wait for next spring too 🥳🥳 🌱
Podcast
So loved listening to you this morning before my volunteering stint at Winterbourne this morning
Met you at Moseley farmers market many times and I loved the bit about your first childhood memories of your band greenhouse
Am hoping my grandkids will have similar memories about me and my flower obsessions 😃Keep up the good work
Love this podcast
Just what I needed having just got a mini allotment and wanting to make the garden more interesting. Really enjoy listening to you both and being inspired. Thank you
