I do not like the “devil's advocate” non-native plant perspective in the last episode. I don't believe any kind of gardening is good. It’s not a good thing to plant invasives or plants that need to be maintained. We die, move, etc, but they usually don't. We often can't retain...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

So glad I found this podcast from a fellow UVA alumna gardening in my locale! I look forward to each episode and always enjoy the conversations with interesting and knowledgeable guests, referrals for other good podcasts, and of course hearing about what Leslie is up to. Thank you Leslie!

I’m a regular listener and a retired garden designer. I find the podcasts interesting and engaging, and Leslie is very down to earth. I like that she often shares what is going on in her own gardening life. Gardening can be tough, and Leslie is a good resource, especially for those new to gardening.

Finally a flower gardening / landscape design podcast that isn’t all about flower farming. Leslie has excellent content and knowledgeable guests. I’ve enjoyed every episode.

Listening to Leslie’s podcast is like chatting with my best friend who is as crazy about gardening as I am. I always learn something new, and she reignites my passion for plants with every episode.

Leslie’s podcasts are extremely well planned, succinct and full of substance. Her format contains quality information relevant to all levels of gardeners and regardless of where anyone gardens. The only drawback is that it isn’t weekly. Linda Mayer

Let’s start with I love listening to Leslie’s voice, and we all know how important the person’s voice is when it comes to anything that we are listening to. Also, I love her humor and she’s always teaching me something new in the garden. I love that each podcast episode is not just one topic but...Read full review »

I thoroughly enjoy Leslie’s podcasts. What started out as a way to pass the time for a 1 hour work commute has turned into my continuous dose of green thumb knowledge. I get so much out of each and every episode. After being in our newest garden for over 8 years, it’s refreshing to hear fellow...Read full review »

I have always loved to garden, indoors and out, but have also been endlessly frustrated by the uglies, the dead and the ‘holes’. Now with Leslie’s podcast readily available, it all becomes a fun adventure; who cares what others see, really, it’s what I like and want to explore. Seeing the shapes,...Read full review »

A fun and interesting podcast. Leslie is easy to listen to, chatty and informative. Thanks

I adore Into the Garden. I stumbled upon this podcast earlier this year as I was searching for podcasts related to Longwood Gardens during my short road trip that way for this year’s Blue Poppies. Karl Gercens was easily one of my favorite podcast interviewees I’ve ever had the pleasure of...Read full review »

I discovered Leslie’s “Into the Garden” only a couple of months ago. I LOVE this podcast. So informative in a light fun way. Leslie knows so much but will say when she doesn’t or will tell something she is not good at or plants she doesn’t do well with. She makes you feel like you are getting...Read full review »

I really enjoy listening and today I was listening to you and Claus Dalby on my drive to Burnside Farms to see fields of tulips in Virginia!

New Listener/Follower. Loving the podcast. Perfect listening while walking and dreaming of warmer weather so I can get to gardening!

Leslie produces a wonderful podcast filled with educational information, stories, humor, and interesting guests. I found her through a Garden Club of Virginia publication. Both novice and experienced gardeners will learn from each episode. Thanks, Leslie!

I’m new to the world of podcasts and certainly gardening ones but I am loving it so far and Claus is just so fun to listen to. Will be listening for sure in the further!
Marymeyer125 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/22
I’ve been listening to Leslie since the beginning and I have to say it’s one of my favorite podcasts to listen to and look forward to each week! Relatable content for the everyday gardener and love learning more with the plant of the week! Must listen!
Garden Evolution via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/22
I look forward to listening to Leslie’s show every week. She has a wonderful sense of humor, never taking herself or her garden too seriously. I always learn something new from her and her guests.
Vamomto5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/22
As a relatively new gardener who lives in Charlottesville, I have LOVED finding and listening to this podcast. I have already learned so much from Leslie and her guests, and I am excited to learn more as I listen while gardening.
jenberger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/22
A new favorite. Leslie’s candor, sense of humor, the overall pace and tone of the podcast is so so good. I feel like I’m listening to a friend who’s so kind to share so much knowledge. Such a gift and I’ve learned so much!

You’ve introduced me to some wonder new gardener sources with wit and laughter. Love the show.

I am fortunate to live in the same area as Leslie. It’s beyond fun hearing about her disasters and victories that we also have been through. Her quick witted humor, Horticultural or otherwise, make me laugh out loud. She’s knowledgeable and a SUPER interviewer that allows her guests to speak. ...Read full review »

Long time fans of Leslie’s IG account, we look forward to this podcast every week. We are pretty experienced gardeners but we learn new things every week. LH is hilarious, practical, and hosts fascinating guests. Countless times, we’ve listened to her show and gone outside and tackled a new project.

I recently got bit by the gardening bug. I have been reading and listening to podcasts about how to garden. This is one of my favorites. From the intro music, to sound quality, to interesting guests, this is by far, one of the best podcasts I’ve come across. I’ve learned so much.
Rdargizlegirf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/21
Finally, a podcast that is realistic about gardening for the typical, amateur gardener.

I like Leslie’s pace and diversity of discussions, especially her acknowledgement of...Read full review »

I just discovered Leslie Harris’ podcast, and I am so glad I did! Her range of show topics is timely and diverse, and she is a confident practicing gardener who will readily admit the things she is still learning. I really enjoy the show, and I can’t wait to see what new things Leslie creates!
Kurt in NWCT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/21
I have been listening from the start. Being a avid podcast listener I don’t waste my time on crudely done, non informative podcasts. Listening to Leslie is like talking with a friend. I appreciate that she doesn’t pretend to know everything.
zip16......... via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/30/21
Leslie is great! She is humble, knowledgeable and kind. I really find that I don’t enjoy podcasts with boring, arrogant hosts or loud bumper music. She gives credit where due and admits her weaknesses. I will listen to her as long as she is doing podcasts. Lorraine in western, Washington, Zone 8b

I found this podcast via fine gardening’s podcast and I really like it. I have just about gone back and listened to all of them. I like it because I am learning about plants/shrubs/trees that I don’t necessarily hear about on other shows. Plus Leslie’s sense of humor is in synch with mine.
di1260 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/21
Fantastic show that encourages gardening on the level that makes sense for you. Great interviews with interesting guests.

I absolutely love this podcast! Leslie hits it out of the park every week. I look forward to this podcast every week! I learn something every week.

I don’t have much of an interest in gardening (terrified of creepy crawlers) but I like learning about different kinds of plants. Leslie is light hearted and informative. She makes me feel like I’m right there in her garden.
