Come and settle in with your gardening pals, Emily & Maddie

A podcast about gardening, good books, and a sneaky tipple.

By two friends with a lot of enthusiasm, and very little know how.

Joined by a host of amazing guests who inspire us in the garden, in books and in life.

Our favourite thing to do is chat about gardening, farming, reading and all the fabulous and messy parts of life. We fail hard in the garden, we celebrate wins, we look at a tree and wonder, “is that dead, or deciduous?”.

Having launched the podcast in September 2023, on a whim and an Amaretto Sour, we’re now nearly 70 episodes deep and couldn’t love doing this any more. 

🍰 Australia’s (sometimes) #1 Leisure, and Home & Garden podcast

🍰 150K+ downloads, 250k+ listens.  

🍰 We release episodes in seasons, and during these seasons you’ll get a new episode every Wednesday at 5am. 

🍰 Most popular episodes include: Jodi Wilson on soft fascination, what gardening does to the brain and the power of enoughness, Katie Finlay on everything there is to know about growing fruit , Milli Proust on flower farming, saving seeds, drying flowers and creating gorgeous bouquets and Charles Dowding on no-dig gardening, microdosing and the politics of gardening. 

🍰Episodes we love: ALL OF THEM. But some of the highlights include Compostable Kate aka Kate Flood aka compost idol, Poh Ling Yeow because holy moly did we have some laughs and she is incredibly insightful on why gardening is the best, Mitch Theissen - the boy from Huon Valley who is now in the enviable position of Head Gardener at The Agrarian Kitchen and is a wealth of veggie-growing , compost and salad-spinner knowledge , both episodes by Jac Semmler are a delight as we explore her maximalist approach to flowers, Matthew Evans dives deep into soil and the food system.

🍰 Listen back to where it all began, the first episode with Emily & Maddie that we thought might never happen.
