Love the interview with Stacie Crooks! Easily the best episode yet of the podcast. So much sensible advice! Keep them coming!

I really appreciate this show. Being able to listen while I work is such a privilege. Thank you ladies.

I like Carol a lot and still enjoy the podcast, but I do miss the interplay between Steve and Danielle. There’s no one now to correct Danielle’s egregious botanical mispronunciations and frequent misuse of words. Please, I beg you…Anemone is pronounced An-e-MONEY, not An-ENEMY!

How I love Let’s Argue About Plants! I have been listening for several years now. I think I can blame you for my garden addiction. I never realized that you can start to garden, make mistakes and learn. Since the pandemic, that is what I do and I love it more even when digging up enormous...Read full review »

I am a newbie gardener and this podcast has been so educational. It’s a really fun format. Can’t wait to see what they come up with in 2023!
LauraKB12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/22
I listen to this show regularly despite it not really being for me. My garden style is very different from Danielle’s and while Carol and I have similar tastes, I live in a totally different region from her so her natives aren’t my natives. It’s an entertaining listen most episodes and I bet I’d...Read full review »

Two areas that might be good for discussion are “plants that weave in and out and play well/ beautifully frame/ offset others” and “plants that are allelopathic”. There isn’t a ton of easily found info on that subject for plants we all typically use and it would be helpful. Thank you for the pod-...Read full review »

Danielle is probably a nice person but her vocal fry makes me crazy. She just doesn’t seem to take the job seriously. Why are we pretending we aren’t gardeners and soo bad at watering? Cringe. The latest episode where the web person interviews Doug Tallamy is the most cringeworthy set of...Read full review »

I’ve loved this podcast for years, and I was so excited to see they’ve started putting the plant list in the show notes. So helpful, thank you!

I enjoy this podcast so much! Danielle and Carol have so much knowledge for me to soak up! I listen while walking, commuting, making dinner! Whenever I can! 💐
elliejoy3 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/30/22
Even when I don’t think I’m going to be interested in a particular topic… I ALWAYS hear a new tip and enjoy the podcast! I like the hosts of course but also appreciate the guests and short contributions by the experts.

I’ve been looking and finally found a great podcast. They seem friendly, happy and are incredibly amazing about sharing their knowledge. It’s like having brilliant plans friends over for a glass of wine.
mauimc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/22
Although I do miss Steve and the back and forth banter. I am really happy it was Carol that was his replacement, I enjoyed when she was a guest in past episodes. I love this podcast because it is more about plants. I have added some of the suggestions to my garden as well to my wish list 😀. My...Read full review »

I love this podcast. As a newer to intermediate gardener I love hearing more experienced gardeners talk about their success and their challenges. This podcast keeps it real. Like anything in life we will experience success and challenges - I love that the hosts talk about their real life...Read full review »

I still enjoy the podcast (guiltily). When you dump a guy, you should probably at least acknowledge his contributions on his last show.
Mauz55 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/22
Finally. Actual info instead of “the joy of gardening” banalities. Great to include a wide range of horticulturists. Appreciate their including info for different zones and soil types.

Yes, we hate ads at the start, middle and end. Immediately turned off and unfollow.
MoscowTim via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/22
Meh
Where’s the “arguing?” The chemistry is not there anymore. I guess all good things must come to an end.
cldwingfield via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/22
No arguing about plants anymore. The dynamic is very different and less entertaining.
Xv532 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/22
It’s just not the same anymore - I always looked forward to each weekly episode, not so much anymore.
IntlMom3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/22
Steve was great. Others not so much. Danielle’s voice tends to gurgle which makes for difficult listening.
cupa25 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/22
I enjoy the discussions and banter. I also enjoy Steve and Danielle’s personalities. Good job guys love the show. Update: Steve vanished like a Chinese dissident, never a word mentioned about it :/
Tomanyusernamestoremember via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/21
This was my favorite gardening podcast mostly because Steve and Danielle were so funny! Now that Steve is gone it’s just not the same.
Mlnch0ly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/21
Everything is up to zone 8! Otherwise there is no point in listening!!!
wyndyln via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/21
Hello I would love to be on your podcast. Something a little different. I have developed a rather unique beehive nest box beehive. And system of beekeeping. Developed primarily for my own investigation of honeybees I have evolved a system like no other. Resulting in bees that are less...Read full review »

It was a five star show with the dynamics between Danielle and Steve. I miss Steve.
HelenAtChateau via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/21
I must write that I was saddened at the beginning of the newest episode to hear that Steve was not going to be part of it anymore. I didn’t even finish listening to the episode. He was the strongest part of the podcast with his self deprecating/ironic/sarcastic comments as he delivered quality...Read full review »
cuprani via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/06/21
I have planted both sun king aralia and Amsonia hubrichtii because of this podcast, and my garden is far better for it! And I appreciate the recent effort to name each plant before and after describing it - very helpful so I don’t have to rewind all the time thinking “that sounds great but what...Read full review »
Nicole Balch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/21
We are lifelong gardeners, have subscribed to Fine Gardening, and are always interested in learning more. On the other hand, we listened to this podcast, which is largely about a narcissistic senior editor and her life, with minimal short entries from a deferential editor in chief. We listened to...Read full review »
Nicky McNickname via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/21
Beginning gardener here... third year in. Steve and Danielle — and Peter, of course — have been a huge part of my plant education. I can just imagine how this podcast came about... Some poor Fine Gardening employee couldn’t take any more of their good-natured bickering during staff meetings ,...Read full review »
Nightlarke via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/23/21
Great episode until the end. Wow. Late to work, car noise, rambling dialogue... nice. This is always a 5 star podcast, but this last guest speaker... wow. So 4 stars for episode 86.
PamintheNW via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/21
I usually don't know about the cultivars Danielle and Steve are talking about, but the podcast is still fun because of their banter and stories. Very pleasant listening! And sometimes I wind up ordering a plant because of it.Read full review »
plant boo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/21
This is my favorite podcast by far. None of that silly vegetable stuff, it’s just about the plants that make my part of the world more interesting and beautiful. It’s rare to find a show that’s this informative with hosts that are so personable. Honestly, i think that Steve and Danielle could...Read full review »
Peg in the Woods via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/21
Love it. Totally binge worthy. Great advice in an entertaining matter. I’m learning a lot about gardening that other podcasts don’t cover such as trees, etc.
foster1318 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/21
Listened for the first time today. Interesting, but why wouldn’t the plants mentioned in the program be listed in the show notes? There were a couple of shrubs that I would like to see if they would be a fit in my yard, but Ive never heard of them previously and have no idea how to spell the...Read full review »

Don’t bother horrible podcast
notelevisionever via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/20
I've been listeing to this podcast for about a year. It took me a while to get used to Danielle's voice and Steve's dry wit, but now I am a fan. Their banter is fun and entertaining and the shows always have something of interest to me as a professional gardener. Sometimes that nugget...Read full review »
Marjorie Zone 5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/20
I’m so glad to have found this podcast and look forward to listening to it every two weeks. Steve and Danielle have a fun dynamic and I have found myself actually laughing out loud to their banter. This is as much educational as it is entertaining. But if you DON’T find a little friendly sarcasm...Read full review »
EmKn8410 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/20
It’s on my “must listen” list as I almost always learn something & the banter (mostly) contributes to the experience
MoshC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/20
I do enjoy the hosts’ banter and light-hearted, down-to-earth approach. Having listened to both American and European gardening podcasts, the former always seem to be lacking. There’s a huge cultural difference, and this podcast is no different. Both hosts seem to favor and spend a lot of time...Read full review »

Did not expect to find such great entertainment from my gardening podcast search. Up there with Sawbones.
SamAnneScott via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/20
I actually find the information really helpful, but I cannot stand Steve’s attitude. I am all for tongue in cheek debates about plants, but Steve’s attitude toward Danielle is extremely off-putting as a listener. The cynical, stoic, ironic schtick is also grating. I love hearing Danielle’s...Read full review »
Acookdail via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/20
I have binge listened to this podcast ever since I started. The two hosts love to banter with each other in not so much an antagonistic way, but rather an entertaining way, in a way only good friends can. I love the introduction of plants that are outside the realm of what most people are...Read full review »
Lilly from Richmond via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/20
Wow I was really looking for a garden podcast that would inform and engage but these two hosts are horrible. Seemed like these two are great at wasting time- get to the story. Please! This is not going to be a favorite. Talk plants, talk gardening and stop the stupid chatter. Ugh. Maybe it a...Read full review »
owlsrest via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/20
Tried this out while looking for a new gardening podcast. The episode I picked, Reliable Performers, was a strange presentation that was developed using video. So if you’re just turning in for a listen, you’re out of luck, because you have no visual reference. Also, the team here seems pretty...Read full review »
kt-wolf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/20
Really long intros, they could cut to the chase a bit faster. The hosts lost me when they repeatedly encouraged listeners to go to YouTube.com, yes “YouTube dot com”
ChiMamma31 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/20
Funny, very informative, not tooooo nerdy, just nerdy enough !
24mc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/20
What a refreshing set of voices on plants. I’m telling friends this is “like Click and Clack, but they (usually) know the Latin names of plants.” Both hosts are terrific and funny and I learn something every episode. And super high quality content — these folks are editors at the gorgeous,...Read full review »

This podcast is so informative yet hilarious! I love to listen while working in the garden—a great escape from the craziness going on beyond my garden fence :-)
