Charming and enlightening

My favorite podcast to calm down, refocus, and dream of future gardening projects. Can hardly believe someone built a podcast where a vegetable patch shares common ground with a literary salon. Heaven!

The podcast is helping me see what is normally just looked at... This is clean up month and mulch time takes a toll on the muscles! Your enthusiasm is very much needed, tho We never know what the weather will bring, ..very windy spells and sudden heat then cold damp chills cause groaning .... BUT my house is warm and your podcast is just the thing for me. Thank you very much . I will be sure to tell my gardening friends about the podcast

Nice lady, but the way she talks

It’s impossible to listen. Sorry!

Like story time for gardener grownups

Listening to this pod is like hanging out in your own secret garden. Always interesting and always a spark for the imagination. I imagine host Jennifer Ebeling in her classical library full of botanical literature and artwork, happily sipping tea brewed from some fragrant thing she grew, seated in front of a crackling fire as she tells her garden tales. A cozy and lovely treat every day. Perfect to listen to while you cook.
Agatha Fan!

What a wonderful podcast, pour me another please!

Listening to Jennifer is like having afternoon high tea. Tiny bites that are filled with creative flavors. Everything tailored and specifically intended. Her use of language is exquisite and her obvious intention in bringing to life a bygone era and paying tribute to historic figures is unique and special. I love this podcast!
