À propos de ce contenu audio

Welcome to Not Just a Garden!


A name that came about after we laboriously tackled a weed-infested, overgrown, black-run-steep patch of field into something vaguely resembling a garden. Literal blood, sweat and tears were spent in the process but once the beds were built, the plants began to grow and the wildlife took over, we agreed it was not just a garden, but something so much more; a shared achievement, a bonding experience, an escape from screens, a hideaway for tranquil moments, a safe space to sit and put the mad and confusing world to rights.


Our continued shared love of gardening has had us avidly watching Gardeners’ World each week, taking notes here, animatedly discussing there, which has in turn lead us to giving a Sweetpea & Bear style recap on our podcast! Just a mother and daughter chewing the fat over Nick, Frances and Adam’s big garden moves, enjoying Monty and Toby’s poetic presenting, learning intriguing garden history from Advolly and hanging off Carol’s every propagating word.


The programme has also brought into our living rooms each week a novice, professional, serious, hilarious, quirky, eccentric, inspiring world of guests, all of whom we want to know so much more about. So our Good Ol' Chit-Chats series was born; each episode we chat with a previous guest on Gardeners’ World and find out more about what would make their dream garden.


So grab a cup of tea and flask of coffee, a glass of wine, a whisky, a Pimms, an Apple and Pear juice or anything in between, and join us for a Good Ol’ Chit-Chat about Not Just a Garden!

      Not Just a Garden Bonus ep8
      Feb 18 2026

      On Not Just a Garden Bonus Episode 8 we explore some residual valentine's thoughts, more seed snails, bad decisions, edible sunflower steaks, and a bit more on rape alarms - thank you Penny for sharing! We also take a look at controversial behaviour at the winter olympics involving the male anatomy, road closures on account of breeding toads, why red roses are synonymous with February 14th, and what happens when a whale dies🐋


      In our Quazy Quiz, we have Plant Name or Sweetpea Being a Pain (in the aster), and can Sweetpea guess our latest Gardeners' World presenter on Who I am?

      Not Just a Garden Bonus ep7
      Feb 11 2026

      On account of slick mother/daughter communication skills we have a partially Valentines-themed Not Just a Garden Bonus Episode 7 this week. We learn about M&S's Only Ingredients range, Google Synth ID, naming a cockroach after an ex, every day items that are worryingly radioactive, the correlation between nuclear weapons and bananas, the wonders of Knepp Farm, how frogs, ferrets, bonobos, crows, spiders, octopuses and clown fish handle sexy sexy time, and a discount from Dan's Plants for all our listeners, right in time for Valentine's Day💕


      On the Quazy Quiz we find out about another nature-based career, and by process of elimination, Sweetpea guesses another Gardeners' World presenter on Who Am I?
