Hello and welcome to Diaries of a Lady Gardener podcast, hosted by me, the Lady Gardener. I can't quite believe we're on season 5 of this podcast, which came to life after I desperately wanted an excuse to hop on a call with my favourite Instagram gardeners to ask them all of my pressing questions. It has turned into an incredible community of plant-lovers with inspirational guests each and every week sharing invaluable information, and making me want to buy at least 100 new plants, seed packets, bare roots, tubers (and the rest of it) every episode. I hope you're ready for another fabulous season chatting to everyone from flower farmers and allotmenteers to some of the greatest garden gurus, listening to us chat about all the things we’ve done in the name of plants, from our biggest achievements to our fabulous garden fails. This season is sponsored by ACAI Outdoorwear, which if you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that barely a day goes by where I'm not dressed head to toe in their clothing whether I'm out at the allotment, on the farm - or even out for lunch! I love the way they perfectly balance style and performance with features such as shower resistance and thermal lining, features which are invaluable when you're someone who is working outside whatever the weather. It is the first and only outdoor clothing brand specifically for women, designed by women for women. Founder and Creative Director Kasia Bromley Says: "Women deserve outdoor clothing which makes them feel great and performs to enhance their confidence." I live in their thermal lined leggings and performance zip during the winter and have certainly put them through their paces and have been so impressed with the comfortable fit and durability of each and every item. Having worked with them on events at the farm and on building my new-workwear wardrobe as a gardener, I'm over the moon that they are sponsoring this season of the podcast! If you're keen to add some ACAI pieces to your wardrobe, they've kindly offered podcast listeners an exclusive discount, so head to the website and use code 'DOALG20' for 20% off orders over £50. This offer ends on 31st May 2023. The new season will be starting on the 7th of February with a very special guest who just so happens to host one of my favourite flowery podcasts so make sure you hit the follow or subscribe button to be the first to know when it's ready for listening! I really hope that you are as inspired as I have been by these amazing guests who are pioneers in the horticultural industry, I'm so grateful for them taking the time to chat with me, and to you for taking the time to listen!
