Welcome to Not Just a Garden!


A name that came about after we laboriously tackled a weed-infested, overgrown, black-run-steep patch of field into something vaguely resembling a garden. Literal blood, sweat and tears were spent in the process but once the beds were built, the plants began to grow and the wildlife took over, we agreed it was not just a garden, but something so much more; a shared achievement, a bonding experience, an escape from screens, a hideaway for tranquil moments, a safe space to sit and put the mad and confusing world to rights.


Our continued shared love of gardening has had us avidly watching Gardeners’ World each week, taking notes here, animatedly discussing there, which has in turn lead us to giving a Sweetpea & Bear style recap on our podcast! Just a mother and daughter chewing the fat over Nick, Frances and Adam’s big garden moves, enjoying Monty and Toby’s poetic presenting, learning intriguing garden history from Advolly and hanging off Carol’s every propagating word.


The programme has also brought into our living rooms each week a novice, professional, serious, hilarious, quirky, eccentric, inspiring world of guests, all of whom we want to know so much more about. So our Good Ol' Chit-Chats series was born; each episode we chat with a previous guest on Gardeners’ World and find out more about what would make their dream garden.


So grab a cup of tea and flask of coffee, a glass of wine, a whisky, a Pimms, an Apple and Pear juice or anything in between, and join us for a Good Ol’ Chit-Chat about Not Just a Garden!

    Gardeners' World 2025 Recap: Ep 18
    2025/07/30

    We recap Gardeners' World 2025 episode 18 and this week we chit-chat about multi-million dollar wildlife crossings, the potential major health benefits of magic mushrooms, seed-embedded national newspapers, how woodlice can remove heavy metals from the ground, the most expensive flower in the world, and how we got on at Great Dixter, despite being completely wired after a dodgy breakfast order.


    On Gardeners' World, Arit Anderson takes us to meet Nate Moss at the beautiful Goldwell Flowers in Kent, and Tracy Coogan in North Lincolnshire shows us her impressive collection of echeverias. Jamie Butterworth shows us Monty's show garden in-situ at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, where we also hear from Dawn Richards, and see Jasper and Harold give the garden a once over, and in this week's Your Gardens segment we're given a tour around Simon Farrell's "patch of paradise" - his wonderful meadow garden in Herefordshire.

    2025/07/29

    We first came across Sharnee Gates on Gardeners' World 2025 episode 11 and were delighted when she joined us for a Good Ol' Chit-Chat to tell us about her dream garden. We find out about the value of Wisley apprenticeships, the beautiful Kings Park Botanic Garden in Perth, the very important website to visit if you're looking for gardening jobs, and much more.
