We went to MIFGS! Erin and Jamie spend this hour dissecting their recent visit to the 2024 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show. We talk you through our favourites in the hall of flowers, the Avenue of Achievable Gardens and the prize-winning Show Gardens. We also highlight the common themes we saw and some plants that seem to be having a bit of a moment. Grab a cuppa and put us in your ears!

Grab a cuppa and join Jamie and Erin as we discuss mushrooms and a horticultural hack for hydrating your soil during extended hot and dry periods. We are keeping our cool during our Australian Summer, so there’s much talk of irrigation . . . and of course, an update on Jamie’s very own F1 Dahlia seedlings. Enjoy!

We’re back for 2024! After a short break to imbibe champagne, we’re here to regale you with our Summer garden doings. This includes a new puppy for Jamie, Olive Tree propagation, a slug infestation and blackberry management. Jamie is being remarkably (uncharacteristically?) restrained in her Dahlia propagation.

Jamie has visited a couple of new gardens and shares stories of majestic trees and goes into quite a bit of useful information about tree maintenance, particularly in relation to leaf curl.
