We Like To Garden Greer and Libby

Hello gardening friends! This week we are talking to Tania about her garden Fantail and Flax in the Bay of Plenty. 

Tania shares all about the different parts of her 7 acre garden (huge!) which include an arboretum, cottage garden, native area, and Japanese inspired garden. She is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to gardening knowledge and we are very fortunate to be able to talk to her.

Hello lovely garden friends! This week we are talking about Meadowscaping and to say we are excited about this trend is an understatement! 

Meadowscaping is the act of converting urban areas (like your lawn) into meadows for maximum environmental benefits and also is just so aesthetically pleasing.

Welcome back! This week we are delving into some of the predicted 2023 garden trends (spoiler alert: we are obsessed with them). Trends we are discussing are meadowscaping, new Victorian, dark planting schemes, new Scandinavian, herb gardens and Greek style.

We're back babyyyy! After having a few weeks off we are back, but not promising to be better than ever.

This episode we catch up with what's been happening in our garden and answer some listener questions.

This week for our last episode for 2023 we are joined by Merve from Hakea Retreat near Raglan to talk all things  permaculture! Merve's passion got us so excited about permaculture and all the possibilities it can offer.
