A fellow garden YOLO-er
Love this short form podcast! Easily accessible throughout my busy day. I love that you are looking for my thoughtful design work as you recently said you are a person that just throws it in the garden and sees what happens! That’s totally me so I’m happy to be more intentional in my planning. Thanks for providing a great learning resource :)
Really Grateful for the Podcast!
Thank you so much for providing such a timely and informative podcast!
Much appreciated!!!
Fun bite-sized segments
I love gardening and getting organized. When I’m down, reading a book or listening to the Beet gets me back on track. I’ve learned so much on things I hadn’t even thought of trying yet. And I appreciate that each episode is short so I’m able to listen, and then go out and do.
