In this episode we?re talking about why gardening can be more than just a hobby ? it can actually be an act of resistance.For most of human history, growing food was a normal part of everyday life. But in modern society we?ve become increasingly disconnected from where our food comes from and dependent on systems that feel out of our control.Gardening pushes back against that.Planting a garden means learning skills that our grandparents once knew by heart. It means building resilience, feeding your family, supporting pollinators, and reconnecting with the natural world.In this conversation we talk about how gardening gives people a sense of autonomy, why so many people are turning back to growing food, and how even a small backyard garden can change the way you think about food, community, and independence.Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do? is plant a seed.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

In this episode we?re talking about something that doesn?t get discussed enough in gardening: ambiance.A beautiful garden isn?t just about what you grow ? it?s about how the space feels when you?re in it. The light, the sounds, the movement, the smells, the little details that make you want to stay outside just a little longer.We?re sharing the things that make the biggest difference in creating a garden that feels like a retreat ? from flowers that attract pollinators and herbs that release fragrance when you brush past them, to lighting, seating, water features, and the wildlife that bring a garden to life.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

This week we?re doing something different ? a full summer garden seed draft. Just like a fantasy draft, we took turns picking from the same pool of crops to build our ultimate garden teams. From tomatoes and peppers to squash, melons, herbs, and even a wild card round, every choice mattered. Once a variety was picked, it was off the board ? and yes, there was stealing involved. This episode is part strategy, part chaos, and a surprisingly great way to think about what actually deserves space in a summer garden.

February might still feel like winter, but the garden season is already waking up. In this episode, we?re breaking down exactly what you can start planting right now, both indoors and outdoors, so you can get a head start on spring without jumping the gun. We talk through starting tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant from seed inside, direct sowing cold-hardy crops like leafy greens, peas, and root vegetables outside, and transplanting out alliums and brassicas that were started last month. We also share timing tips, beginner-friendly planting advice, and little things that can make or break your February garden.

We talk about what?s happening in the garden right now, what?s thriving, what?s struggling, and what we?re excited to plant and grow next. We also chat about life lately, what?s been keeping us busy, and the things we?re looking forward to as the season continues.

These episodes are meant to feel like you?re hanging out with us in the garden ? no pressure, no how-to?s, just honest conversation, garden rambling, and real life updates.

If you?re gardening along with us or just want something cozy to listen to while you water, weed, or unwind, we?re really glad you?re here ?

Would you rather lose your favorite plant forever? or never be able to buy seeds again? ??

In this episode of the Garden Girls Podcast, we?re playing Would You Rather: Gardener Edition ? and things spiral quickly. From impossible plant choices to chaotic garden scenarios, we put our gardener morals to the test and definitely expose ourselves a little along the way.

This episode is lighthearted, unhinged, and perfect if you love gardening but don?t take it too seriously. We talk through ridiculous hypotheticals, unpopular gardening opinions, and the kinds of choices no gardener should ever have to make ? yet somehow we do anyway.

Grab your coffee, your pruning shears, or your emotional support houseplant and play along with us. Drop your answers in the comments because we need to know what you would choose.
