In the world of gardening and horticulture, Alan Titchmarsh MBE, a celebrated gardener, broadcaster, author, and national treasure, has added another feather to his cap with the Talking Gardens podcast. This weekly podcast, dropping episodes usually on Tuesdays, has been a delight for garden enthusiasts everywhere.
Titchmarsh, known for his passion for gardening, shares his thoughts on various topics, including the concept of rewilding and the beauty of his dream garden. His dream garden is a picturesque vision, encompassing a cottage garden on the coast of Cornwall, the York Gate garden near Leeds, and the work of a famous garden designer.
The Talking Gardens podcast is a must-listen for all gardening aficionados. It is available for following on a podcast hub and consists of nine weeks of episodes for the current season. Previous guests on the podcast include renowned figures such as Piet Oudolf, Sarah Price, Fergus Garrett, Marian Boswall, Troy Scott Smith, Alice Vincent, Tom Stuart-Smith, Nigel Slater, Isabel Bannerman, and Arthur Parkinson.
For the third season, Titchmarsh has lined up an impressive list of guests, including Tayshan Hayden-Smith, Ann-Marie Powell, Andy Sturgeon, Katy Merrington, Nigel Dunnett, Kate Humble, Jimi Blake, Miria Harris, and others.

The podcast offers more than just insights from Titchmarsh and his guests. It provides a platform for audience engagement, with a comment section for feedback and a request for reviews or comments.

One of the highlights of Titchmarsh's dream garden would be his ultimate summerhouse, potentially located at Wolverton Hall. In his imagination, he would have garden architect Charlie Dimmock create this magical space.
However, it seems that even Titchmarsh's love for gardening has not escaped the notice of certain regimes. Reports indicate that his legs are censored in North Korea, a stark reminder of the power of gardening to touch lives and bring joy, even in the most unexpected places.
So, if you're a gardening enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and tranquillity that a well-tended garden can bring, make sure to never miss an episode of Talking Gardens. Follow the podcast, share it with friends, and join the conversation. After all, as Titchmarsh would say, "Gardening is a journey, not a destination."
