In the final episode of the season, I got the absolute pleasure of chatting with Michael Perry, otherwise known as @Mr_plantgeek who I was very lucky to meet in person at Ellen Mary’s Wild Wellbeing Retreat back in April. As soon as we returned I bought his book ‘Hortus Curious’ and enjoyed it all the more for having spend 3 days in his company. Michael is an incredibly funny, intelligent and forward-thinking man and I was very excited to have him as the final episode, it felt like the perfect way to end the season. This conversation ended up being a little less about plants and more about going after the things you want in life, believing in yourself and overall not being afraid to be you, but don’t worry, there is PLENTY of plant chat in there too, from tulip fields to jam packed garden borders. Enjoy! 

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 10 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!

In this episode, I got the pleasure of with one of the local flower farmers in my area, Harriet Mullions of Sweet Peas and Sunflowers, all about her journey into growing flowers. Harriet’s beautiful farm was one of the first that I visited, just 20 minutes down the road from me and I’ve loved watching her journey and getting to know her over the past few months, and am always so grateful for a little message here and there about spare pots, meet ups and seedlings that I might be able to make use of! She is both a regional and national coordinator for Flowers from the Farm and though the platform has offered me (and I’m sure so many others) so much support, advice and overall loveliness to motivate us in our journey. If you’re a flower grower and are not already a member of Flowers From the Farm, I’d highly recommend signing up because it’s an amazing community where I’ve gleaned so many useful pieces of advice and felt so inspired by the other growers all across the UK making waves in the industry. Without further ado, here’s the episode with the wonderful Harriet!

In this episode I got the chance to chat once again to Andy from Urban Herbs who has been making waves in the gardening community for quite some time now. With the launch of his new book: The Herb Gardening Handbook, and the incredibly growth of his personal account @andygrowsherbs, it felt like the perfect time to catch up and hear how things are going. Watch out, the late tomato growalong coming soon!
