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!

We’re finally back in the podcasting swing of things for 2024! 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.
-
Gee, we cover some big topics in this episode: snake bite kits, shade plants, bridging grafting techniques, gypsum application and the Zombie Apocalypse. There’s more than a few horticultural tangents, but we know you all enjoy our meandering chats down the garden path.
-
The theme of this episode is ‘always add more organic matter!’ We also discuss roses and the dreaded blackspot, biodynamic preparations and fermented cow poo. It’s niche.
-
In this episode, we chat to Lauren from Foraged Flavour - a boutique, bee-friendly flower farm specialising in edible flowers. This chat ranges from popular edible flower varieties and growing techniques, through to friendly garden bugs, including parasitic wasps! (Hint: if you battle aphids, listen in!)
You can find out more about Foraged Flavour at: www.foragedflavour.com.au or https://www.instagram.com/foraged_flavour/

Today we cover (characteristically) large ground, from what we’re NOT buying for the garden, insects who clone themselves and botanical themed snow suits. Stay with us . . . promise it’s worth it!
-
In this episode we share an interview with Katrina from Blue Borage. Katrina has an amazing depth of knowledge in relation to compost, building and improving your soil for gardening. We were able to ask Katrina for plenty of advice in relation to composting and worm farms, as well as ways for dealing with tricky weeds that don’t involve nasty poisons.
We encourage you all to follow Katrina on Instagram, as she provides so much useful gardening information:

In this episode, Jamie and Erin recap their visits to the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show . . . with all the usual tangents you’ve come to expect: botanical nomenclature, port-a-loos, favourite plants and a few helpful tips along the way.
-
In this episode, Jamie interview ecologies and environmental photographer, Alison Pouliot. Alison and Jamie delve into a fungi-filled discussion with Alison’s new book, Underground Lovers, as a launching point. They discuss everything from the role of fungi in our ecosystems, the oddly maligned view of fungi, through to glowing ghost fungi. It’s entertaining and educational in equal parts!
Head to Alison’s website for more information about her work:

Join Jamie and Erin for an episode all about propagation - one of Jamie’s very favourite things. We chat about what to propagate when, from cuttings to seeds. We also discuss slugs, Eurovision and soil blocking. Because what’s a propagation discussion without Eurovision?
-
Welcome to episode 2 of the Garden Hoes podcast! This was recorded just prior to Christmas 2022 and highlights Jamie’s visit to Ball Australia and Flemings Nursery, as well as a discussion around frustrating power tools and summer seed sowing.

In our first episode, we introduce you to us: Jamie and Erin. It’s a bit of a lengthy episode, while we chat through our gardening backgrounds, loves and motivations, so you get to know a bit about us.
