Customer Reviews
Much appreciated and anticipated
I just discovered this wonderfully done podcast a few months ago and have completely enjoyed listening each week and also exploring the many past episodes. I love the rapport between the host and the interviewee. While the technical information is great, I also like the stories that are told, which includes the usual introductory question regarding how the person became a gardener. The rest of the podcast is helpful as well — both the plant profiles and the update on garden themed events in the DC metro area. This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. Thanks and please keep up the fine work!
Top notch garden podcast
Great guests and deep dives. Not just of regional interest to the DC-MD-VA region. Kathy has excellent subject matter experts. Loved the recent Arboretum episode.
Happy Easter Discovery
As long-time fans of Karen Rexrode, we were very happy to hear her episode with reminders of all those many years of excursions to the Windy Hill Plant Farm. As new followers of various podcasts, we were also very happy to find the GardenDC pod! As aging gardeners, we’ll be happy to have an excuse to relax a bit and listen!
