Love Carol and Dee

This is such a fun, informed podcast. These two ladies clearly have a friendship and I’ve been listening so long, it feels like they are my friend too! They always have great information to share and I like the format where they talk flowers and veggies as well as books! Keep it up ladies!

My favorite gardening podcast!

Gardenangelists is such a great podcast! Who knew two friends talking about gardens could be so informative and informative. From the carefully curated topics and the thoughtful, wide-ranging quotes to the improvised chat, they share their vast experiences and knowledge in an engaging, friendly way. I’ve learned so much and now I wait impatiently for the next episode to drop on Wednesday. Makes my commute and walks so much more enjoyable. Bravo!

The Best

I found this podcast last year and very quickly consumed the current and past episodes. They don’t take themselves to seriously but still manage to be informative. They are also a great deal of fun. I especially love their quotes and book recommendations, however the book recommendations have caused me to rack up my credit card balance on Amazon, but it’s not there fault I have no self control! Thank you Dee and Carol for helping me look forward to my morning commute.
