If you are in a position to help visit Buzzsprout.com - Your Garden Coach, (or Patreon) there you can decide how much you'd like to gift each month. It really does make a huge difference to us. We don't have anything to sell to offset the costs so it's still brought to you out of our pocket money. Thank you for considering supporting us.
In this week's episode we have a new competition - you will love this one! Thanks to Alisa www.littlehilllawrence.nz for gifting one of her Tiny Zen gardens - so cute, and a lovely way to display beautiful nature indoors.

It appears that over Winter our Episode releases each week are a little later than anticipated. Let's roll with that for the time being.
A full episode this week updating your current winter tasks, yes there is plenty to keep you motivated and enjoying the benefits of being in the garden even if winter days are shorter (and cooler). Go on, wrap up warm, head outside and get your Vitamin G (Green).
We talk about Planning your Spring Garden this week - what did you learn from last winter? What do you want to do the same/ What do you want to change? We have lots more questions to get you thinking.

Happy Winter Solstice, by the time you are listening to this episode (late again), you will be on the right side of the season, heading straight towards Spring. On the other hand, here in France, where Summer is yet to arrive, we've received incredible quantities of rain every day.
We fitted actual floodgates at a friends house this afternoon, a fabulous design used in many low-lying areas of the UK and Europe. Floods are becoming more common-place as I reported about one of the Garden designs at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
I digress, suffice to say my feet are now webbed and my hair has given up on ever looking tidy again!
This week I report on our trip to Mottistone Gardens on the Isle of Wight.
https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/isle-of-wight/mottistone-gardens-and-estate Take a look if you have a minute. It's gorgeous.
We update you on your current garden tasks, and announce this weeks $20 Voucher winner. Aimee @yeoldsoul Congratulations Aimee.
Google, and take a look at my foraged French vegetable this week, Prussian or Wild Asparagus Ornithogalum Pyrenaium! It's delicious.
Thank you to everyone who writes in with their garden stories, it is wonderful to hear what is happening around our beautiful country - do keep your emails coming.
Thank you again to those who financially support us via Buzzsprout and Patreon, we really appreciate your support.

A special report from RHS Chelsea Flower Show this week.
Ali was incredibly fortunate to be invited into one of the Show Gardens to interview the designers.
What a surreal experience to be recording the very talented Dido Milne and Sophie Parmenter in the garden they designed for The National Autistic Society. An enveloping, safe and calm garden in the midst of a bustling show. Upon stepping into the garden, this girl from the countryside who prefers peace and quiet, was completely rejuvinated. This garden will be relocated to a National Autistic Society site at Catrine Bank in Scotland, where, I am certain, many clients will benefit greatly.

Su Hoskin is back to talk about the Hāwea Food Forest - Community Food Forests are buzzing with activity and camaraderie, and participants get to enjoy the fruits of their labour, it’s a win - win.Dandelion root tea is the flavour of the day - actually it’s more a coffee substitute, will Jen like this one??
Barren period until 2nd June then its Root crops 3rd & 4th… Keep planting bulbs for Spring colour.
The winter crops are being harvested now, the last of the pumpkins, Jerusalem Artichokes and NZ Yams. Plus your winter greens, Kale, spinach, winter lettuce.
Micro greens are very fashionable, and so easy to grow on your window sill.
Book of the Week - My Garden World, Monty Don - an audio version for me as I am travelling and as we only tale carry on luggage there is no room for books (actually I am hand delivering a copy of Secret Gardens of Aotearoa by Jane Mahoney and Sophie Bannan, to a friend in France - so I do have one book with me)
Congratulations to Sandie Jordan, Sandie won this weeks @kingsseedsnz voucher.
And our very popular competition for the SustainaGrow Prize pack has been won by Rachel Chamberlain - Rachel said she loves the podcast - it starts her gardening day on Thursday’s nicely.
