S2, Ep1: Summer Rayne Oakes

July 9, 2019

Hello podcast friends!

I’m back, after an unforgivably long break while I was writing my book (and doing other things which are not as interesting as writing a book). In this first episode of Series TWO I’m chatting with house plant whisperer and she of the delicious Brooklyn apartment Summer Rayne Oakes, all about her new book: How To Make A Plant Love You. It’s a passionate, personal and practical piece of work which underlined just how important it is for us to slow down, shut up and stay open to what the natural world has to teach us. We touch on urban gardening, rewilding, failure, joy and climate change, as well as the all-important subject of keeping hens in an apartment. Do have a listen, (forgive my nerves as this is the first time I’ve been in charge of ALL the tech!) and let me know what you think!

My newsletter is much more personal than my blog - it’s where I document exactly what I’ve been doing in my own garden each day and it pops into inboxes on a Saturday or Sunday. People say it gets them motivated to get out there and do a bit of gardening which is brilliant! If you want it, just put your email in the box below, and know that I will NEVER share you details with anyone, EVER. x
