Hello and welcome to the Diaries of a Lady Gardener podcast! I'm your host, Shannon, a 26 year old accidental allotmenteer from Devon and I'm thrilled to be here for a second season!

From houseplants and microgreens to flower farms and allotments, no matter whether you're limited on space or have acres to play with, these guests are guarenteed to inspire you in one way or another. Get ready to hear your favourite plant enthusiasts dish the dirt on the things they have done in the name of plants. We'll chat about all the highs and lows of gardening and why it's something we all love to a level of obsession,

If you think gardening is cool and would rather take a trip to the garden centre than go out out, then you’ve found the right podcast. But also, you’re not in the minority.

Research from Draper Tools has revealed that over 80% of young people officially think gardening is cool, mainly because of its benefits for mental health and the environment.

Draper Tools are back for season 2 as sponsors of the Diaries of a Lady Gardener podcast, so why not join me in following them on Instagram, “at Draper underscore tools”?

In this episode, I had to much fun chatting to Amy from Chicks and Veg about what it’s like being a luffa queen, dazzling dahlias and growing your own wedding flowers. She has the most incredible garden space and greenhouse, which I would definitely recommend taking a look at if you’ve not seen it already! Definite greenhouse goals. So, enjoy!
