    Madeline Hooper and Garden Fit

    Madeline Hooper and Garden Fit

    What's the most important gardening tool? Your body, silly, which, if you are like me, isn't quite the same as it used to be. Is there a resource where you can learn about how to improve and maintain this tool? Yes, and it's the PBS show called Garden Fit. Can you have sneak peaks at other people's fabulous gardens at the same time? Oh yes, you can. Listen to Madeline Hooper tell us about this fabulous combination of physical maintenance and envy inducing garden surveillance.

    The Spring Garden with Marianne Willburn

    The Spring Garden with Marianne Willburn

    Hydrangea pruning, bulbs (tulips... are they worth it? of course), transplanting polygonatum, tchotchkes in the garden (MA thinks no, Les likes a bit of whimsy), and quite a long side path of Magnolia discussion. Oh, and the MOST important spring "chore"? Pretty easy: Look. Every. Day.

    Marianne Willburn Garden Tour HERE, 119

    Just trying to make it clear that because Marianne toured my garden I didn't take very long. The plant of the week is a weeping Salix and I throw you a few early spring seasonal tips just in case you thought I was totally selfish.

    Erin Schanen and the Philly Trends

    Erin Schanen and the Philly Trends

    Each year, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society comes out with a list of trends that we should be on the lookout for in the gardening world. Erin the impatient Gardner and I break down this list and go through all 10 points, offering opinions, critiques, and support for some wonderful gardening ideas. You may be interested to know that halfway through our interview, there's a knock at the zoom door, and Marianne Willburn sort of lets herself in. Well, I did send her the link…. Lots of laughs and lots of good gardening information on episode 117.

Gardening as a Business

Wow, I really loved this talk - I’m a master gardener starting a job maintaining a residential garden this spring. I’m excited to get started, making a little money doing what I love, and this podcast helped me realize the importance of being punctual and organized, even though it’s just “a little job!” Maybe it will lead to other opportunities - I will be listening to this one again!

Love this gardening podcast!

Leslie is very knowledgeable about all things annual, perennial and shrub gardening! Even though I garden in Kansas City, her information is almost always pertinent. She is always fresh and enthusiastic. She does a good interview and I’ve started following other gardeners that she likes on Instagram. Thanks, Leslie

Love it

I look forward to each episode and find myself smiling the whole way through… very informative, yet entertaining. Great for novice gardeners and seasoned alike. Well done!
