Hello, and welcome back for season 2 of Diaries of a Lady Gardener!


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 the pleasure of speaking with self-taught gardener, YouTuber, author and all round female gardening inspiration Tanya Anderson of Lovely Greens. Her book is packed with ideas on what to grow in the garden, and what to do with your produce. Whether you’re just starting out or an avid gardener looking for something a little different to try, you’ll definitely find this chat an interesting one.


Get ready to hear about where her journey began, and all about life living the dream on the Isle of Man!


I can away from this episode feeling so inspired to start some new projects and really make the most of some of the things on my plot that end up going to waste. I’ll definitely be measuring up a spare space for a herb spiral and giving homemade soaps and salves a try. Hopefully you’ve been inspired too, I’d certainly recommend taking a look at Tanya’s A Woman’s Garden book!
