Gather at the Garden Gate. Becca and Grace come in from the garden, put the kettle on, and talk about what they have been getting up to indoors, outdoors, and get incredibly excited about, every so often, going out out. We were going to do it anyway, so we thought you'd invite you too.

This isn’t just a podcast about gardening. It's about women celebrating life in the garden, flowers, each other, and taking refuge in the kitchen when it starts to pour with rain.

Join them, once a week, gathering at the garden gate.
