    Great show. Great gardening tips.
    It’s so relaxing to listen to Christie and her guests talk gardening. I’ve learned a lot of great ideas and tips to try out in my garden.
  • Perma Link
    So glad I found this
    Loads and loads of information. Very happy I found this.
  • CassyAugust
    If you want to know more, listen

  • sdcheryl
    The best gardening podcast
    So many great tips & I love that she is in Southern CA like me. Christy’s voice is very calming to listen to while I’m gardening.
  • AwesomeMontana
    Expert advice and tips in your ears
    Christy shared great value with every episode. A fellow podcaster myself I know I can always great ideas and solutions whoever I tune it! Awesome show for any gardener!
  • Buhnanie
    Great Voice, Interesting & Helpful info
    I’ve been gardening pretty happily and successfully for several decades yet this podcaster still has a lot of interesting and useful things to teach me. For instance, I just threw a shade cloth over my cilantro before it bolts from from the sudden heat here in the CA Central Valley. The studio doesn’t produce the most polished sound quality, but Christy’s bright and clear voice, free of vocal fry and other artificialities, is refreshing and makes listening a real pleasure. I’m going to binge listen to all the past episodes I’ve missed!
  • avacadoseashells
    Best gardening podcast on here
    Sorry everyone else, but Christy’s show makes my week. I am SO happy that the podcast is up and rolling again and can’t wait to absorb more knowledge. I find myself listening to the podcasts Over and over again! It’s so welcoming, Christy has such a great voice, is amazing at conversation and especially getting all the good info during her interviews. You can tell she really loves this and talking to other people about gardening and other things in relation. I find my self thinking I’m hanging out with them and laughing and having such a great time weather I’m riding in the car or have a earbud in at work. So thankful for this show, it has truly taught me a lot Keep it going Christy you are amazing and I never want this podcast to end
  • Marcus M. FF
    Thank you
    Novice gardener here. Started listening to this podcast as my interest in gardening was gaining. I have now come to look forward to each new podcast over the past year. Enjoy the range of topics, people, and experiences. Keep up the great work, it is appreciated!

    Entertaining Informative Inspirational
    Love this podcast, definitely makes a new gardener like myself feel like I can start a garden.
  • Lisa's in the garden
    Great interviews
    I enjoy Christie’s garden tips and tricks, but her interviews from the heirloom festival are even better and I eagerly wait to see who I can hear about and learn from next.
  • Misti L.
    Love it!
    Christy puts together a fascinating group of guests and I'm constantly learning something new from this podcast!
  • SieRW
    I love the new format!
    I love the new format's increased content & length. I liked the podcast before but was always left wanting a little more. This new format achieves that and is fantastic. Great work!
  • RobRudie
    Levels
    Lovely stuff, but... The playback level of the podcast is too low. Please try exporting your product a level closer to that of other common content.
  • intj-kc
    I love this podcast
    I've learned so much from this podcast and would recommend it to anyone.
  • Nightfiresown
    Good
    Good tips. Wish there was more than just quick tips
  • BravoGol
    Glad to have gardenerd's perspective.
    Always nice to be getting tips around the garden. I've heard a few episodes and I am subscribed to hear more.
  • jhyche
    Love it!
    I love this podcast. Very informative and interesting!
  • marchfool
    the must listen podcast for gardeners everywhere!
    not only are the gardenerd podcasts entertaining, they're wonderfully informative. i often find myself telling fellow gardeners tips i've picked up here. christy knows what she's talking about and it's great to hear her every week. love the opening and closing music too… it always makes me smile : )
  • Concerned About the World
    Too much non content
    Great idea but the tip is only about 1/3 the podcast length. I deleted them all after listening to a few because I like to listen to the podcasts back to back but got frustrated with the amount of non content.
  • CaliCrystal_LA
    One of the best organic gardening podcasts around..
    Long-time listener of the Gardenerd podcast and am a big fan. Christy covers a broad range of organic gardening topics- from the ordinary to the obsure - and it's always a joy to look forward to the next week. Highly recommended for those who have a passion for gardening!!!
  • geekthumb
    Like the tip, not worth the intro/outro
    This seems like a great quick-tip podcast if half of it weren't musical intro and outro. I've only listened to a dozen of them now and I'm already sick of the 15 or 25 second tune before the actual 'cast. Although the newer ones feature a shorter intro than a previous years, it's still too long for such a short show. Sorry to be harsh, but I've had enough to make me stop listening. On the plus side, I do enjoy the content and the backlog is quite impressive.
  • Vicki-Maria
    Helpful
    Helpful tidbits of information, Thank you keep up the good job.
  • lil_gypsy
    Cute!
    I think this is a wonderful little podcast- it has interesting info and little tips that are very helpful :) Thanks, and keep 'casting!!!
  • toddmhauser
    Stole My Review
    The audio quality is good, her voice is pleasant (although I'd rather she used a script more often) and there is a lot of good production quality to the surrounding music. The problem is there is too much music. The actual tips are generally 35-40 seconds of a 1:50 program. It is especially frustrating when the tip is something like "One of my favorite gardening webstores is going out of business!" That has limited use to me, after wading through a 25 second intro.
  • Touch Of Greatness
    A nice little tip, too much else
    Nice little tips, but people are unlikely to endure the equally long introductions and endings. When I have 10 of these on my iPod, how do I know I am on the next one? I need to painfully wait through a 20 second introduction ...
