This week James and Joe take the podcast live for the very first time – complete with classic technical hiccups, a briefly upside-down camera, and Joe accidentally muting himself at least twice. In between the chaos they dive into the world of garden music and answer questions live from viewers inside the Garden Collective on the Scribehound app.

Some wonderful news

Same plants. Different garden. After an incredible two years with Scribehound, the Garden Collective is digging up the shrubs, potting up the perennials, and putting the tools in the wheelbarrow. We are off to our very own Garden Collective website, a link for which will be shared before we move.

As it turns out, schemes as much as schemata were the fulcrum of the Swedish Botanist's life. I took a trip to Uppsala to reckon with the Father of Taxonomy's complicated legacy and eat some summer fruit.

Pond Life

There is no more rewarding addition to a garden than a pond - but I would do some things differently if I was starting afresh.
