“There has never been a podcast I have ever had the desire to listen to twice, not even my all time favorite crime podcast. 😆 This podcast upped my garden game and now I am re listening to old episodes and taking notes.
Things I learned about

Thanks to Marlene I just ordered six miniature african violets and bought a lipstick plant.
We have a big vegetable garden...”Read full review »

“Just some feedback about a recent episode
Example: garden saving tips...
One of the tips was avoid expensive pesticides.
The explanation on how to avoid using pesticides was “I love using rubbing alcohol on certain things” and “I prefer to spray water” but then zero explanation was given on when...”Read full review »

“The hosts are incredibly knowledgeable but talk in a way that’s hilariously entertaining so it’s not purely just a nerdy dump of info. You will thoroughly enjoy this, whether you’re a plant nerd or just have a new found curiosity about the plant world!”

“I started with the 2 episode house plant cast. The first 10ish minutes was the host and guest discussing popular houseplants in a pretty condescending manner. They actually discussed being plant snobs, then kept on. I wanted to like this as I think there is good information, so I tried to keep an...”Read full review »

“Too much worthless filler chat, too little prep between hosts, too much “I think I’m clever and funny” lead up to the actual content. The Pollinator episode was wildly underwhelming... content was weak and sounded googled.”
