Yay!
Edit from 2023: I just listened to the episode with your husband, and it is hands down my favorite episode so far. You sound so laid back and at ease. You two have great talk-show-host energy. Love you guys!
I’ve been listening on my way home from work and it gives me so much inspiration to get right out into the yard when I get home! I just bought a house that needs some landscaping love, and I’m eating up all these ideas. Thank you Janna!
Super helpful!
I’ve listened to every episode over the last few months and love this podcast. I’m looking forward to using the knowledge I’m gaining in my current yard and am super excited to use it designing my next yard where we’re building our new home. I feel truly inspired to grow beautiful plants in our climate while conserving water. Great resources for our state. Thank you Jana and all of your guests!
Superb gardening pod!
So informative and interesting!
