    Moderator Voices
    I feel the moderator voices are not as soothing as expected. I listen to this podcast at work he was nd of the day. The moderators talk too fast.
  • Jltx2
    Perfect level of information
    June T. here from Georgia in the United States. Love the level of information delivered during the shows, but especially love Allen’s delivery. One of the best podcast out there.
  • LinaTheQueen
    1/2 ads?!?
    Sowalongs are only six minutes, and three minutes of it is ads! And they aren’t even plant related ads- seriously?! I’ll be skipping these. Hope this isn’t the direction the shows are going.
  • Ms Lanie
    Wayyy to many ads
    Three minutes of ads at the opening is too much. The content is 5 stars, but the ads are too much!!
  • FunLish
    Thank you!
    I just soak up all of this wisdom. So thankful for the positivity and knowledge that you share here!
  • j caley
    Refreshing
    Love this podcast, it’s so nice and informative!Unlike a lot of podcasts it’s not a sales pitch for online gardening classes. And everyone seems to have the attitude of give it a go and it’s very straight forward on the task at hand. Thank you so much !!

    Sheds….my castle
    I love how the shed is described in this episode. I have three for differing purposes and they all hold something in my heart. They are like my castles with my goods of labor……..

    Focus on Wildlife in the Garden
    I love Gardeners’ World new series on wildlife in the garden. Also appreciate the Sow Along series. Thank you Gardeners’ World!
  • Burned By Adobe
    Thank you Arit for turning it green!
    Any talk about gardens these days needs to have discussion of the ecological crisis along with our own aesthetic pleasure. With her latest series on the gardening world podcast. Arit is doing this beautifully and responsibly. In the episode on trees this month, for example, she recognizes the pleasure and ecological contributions of trees, but engages a critical perspective on the cynical claims that we can keep on consuming at an unsustainable rate and just plant trillions of trees to compensate for it. Thank you for this contribution, Arit.

    British. Very British.
    What can I say? I am married to a British man, have lived there and I love it and them very much. However I just can’t take how incredibly full of themselves they are any more. I know the British are Gods gift to mankind and we all ought to bow and kiss their royal bums as the peak of all horticultural knowledge, you plebeian Americans, but I just can’t do it anymore. That is all. Pardon me while I go sow some hybrid seeds in new plastic pots with peat moss and miracle grow fertilizer, perhaps the bitter taste of so much cultural arrogance will leave my mouth if I do.

    Soothing
    Watching this show on YouTube and now listening to their podcast is a great calming influence. In small ways we can help the environment and our own health. These folks break it down and keep it interesting! Thanks
  • Nicole Rebecca
    Lovely show
    Relaxing and informative. Would recommend for beginners and experienced gardeners alike!
  • Agatha Fan!
    Awesome Ann Marie!
