About this episode
The episode discusses the joys and benefits of gardening while sharing humorous anecdotes and listener letters.
Edith’s potatoes may have gone to the dark side, but we are forging ahead with the small and enjoyable garden tasks of winter and dreaming of our 2025 garden. So, let us inspire your next garden with all the many benefits and joys of gardening! We have gathered our top reasons why we garden: From health to wealth. From making friends to murdering carrots. From learning to lunging. And filled with little tips and tricks and laughs along the way. It’s seed catalog season so, we have stuffed this episode with THREE funny pod plays about our favorite reason to go to the mailbox. Speaking of mail: We got a letter from Lindsey delivered to our mailbag (Ring! Ring!) about her garden trials and dreams – an inspiring letter of resilience and renewal. Need even more inspiration? Christy has some! Bonus: Leonardo DiCatrio makes an appearance. Can you find him? So, grab a cup of tea, a glass of wine or clean those garden tools - while you join us!
