    Welcome To The Garden Girl's Podcast!

    Welcome to The Garden Girls Podcast! We’re Meg and Dagny—two gardening content creators whose friendship started in a group chat filled with plant questions, garden wins, and the occasional gardening chaos. Eventually, we thought... why not invite everyone else into the conversation? Each week, we'll be digging into all things gardening—from growing food and flowers to preserving the harvest, garden experiments, historical deep dives, hot takes, and the mistakes we're making along the way. Whether you're a seasoned gardener, a complete beginner, or just someone who loves hearing passionate people talk about plants, you're in the right place. In this trailer episode, we're sharing what inspired us to start the podcast, what you can expect from future episodes, and why we think gardening conversations should be both educational and entertaining. Grab your coffee, tea, or seed catalog and join us. We're so glad you're here. 🌻 New episodes every week. 🎙️ Follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode.

    Episode 71: Getting Kids Into Gardening

    Most of the advice out there about getting kids into gardening is optimized for a perfect afternoon. This episode isn't that.I'm talking about what actually works when you have limited time, low buy-in from a small person, and a garden that cannot absorb a lot of chaos. Because kids don't need a curriculum. They need one thing that belongs to them and enough space to mess it up.If you've been waiting for the right moment to start — this is it. The bar is lower than you think.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLSRenee's Garden Seeds: https://sh2543.ositracker.com/398693/9151*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

    Episode 70: Garden Party Planning - Plan With Us

    Meg and Dagny get into the details of how they actually plan a garden party; the vibe, the food, the seating, what to do when it rains, and the things they've learned from throwing a few of them. Less Pinterest board, more real decisions made by two people who garden for a living and still stress about it. What's in this episode: how they set the mood without overdoing the decor, what food actually works when you're eating outside, seating setups that don't make your guests miserable, and the rain plan neither of them had.

    Episode 69: Companion Planting - The Myths vs. What the Science Actually Says

    Does companion planting actually work — or have we been following folklore dressed up as gardening advice?In this episode, we go deep on one of the most confusing topics in the gardening world. We debunk four of the biggest companion planting myths (including the beloved basil-and-tomatoes "flavor enhancer" claim), explain what scientists actually call this practice (hint: not companion planting), and tell you what the research genuinely supports.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLSRenee's Garden Seeds: https://sh2543.ositracker.com/398693/9151*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

    Episode 67: How To Water Yourself The Way You Water Your Plants ft. The Plant Papi

    We've been talking to our plants for years. Turns out, they've been trying to tell us something back. In this episode, Meagan and Dagny sit down with  ⁨@theplantpapi⁩  — a therapist, houseplant creator, and genuinely one of our favorite humans on the internet — to talk about what plant care can teach us about taking care of ourselves. Watering as consistency. Repotting as growth. Pruning as letting go. Dormancy as permission to rest. It's a mental health conversation disguised as a gardening episode, and we're not sorry about it. Plus rapid fire questions, houseplant tips woven throughout, and at least one moment where we accidentally got real.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
