This is one garden that needs no introduction... and that's because it's become an internet phenomenon in it's own right. The Laundry Garden might have started with humble aspirations to create a beautiful walled garden, but it's since become a whole community. In this episode of the Sip & Sow Podcast, Jenny explains the moment she decided to share the garden on Instagram and how it took off from there, amassing hundreds of thousands of followers from all over the world and how she's now taking that community one step further with the launch of 'The Laundry Garden Collective'

She also talks of course, about her love for Dahlias and how what started as a love for a beautiful flower, has turned into a bit of an obsession and a need to expand the plot to double it's size! She's become known over recent years as a dahlia expert, and now is the very start of the season and Jenny divulges her favourite varieties.

Their family started out growing strawberry plants in Norfolk over 30 years ago, but for Toby and Imagen this is a brand new journey, as they're just one year into their own soft fruit farm. Previously only available to commercial growers, they wanted to let home growers buy from them directly too, cutting out the middleman (often many) of nurseries & garden centres. Offering strawberries and other soft fruit varieties like raspberries, blackcurrant and gooseberry bushes as bare roots and young plants throughout the season.

I was lucky to meet this entrepreneurial pair, as they became members of the Growth Club, my online business & marketing membership with Roz Chandler. I've loved working with them on their journey to grow their social media & online presence but of course I couldn't wait to meet them in real life and see that expansive farm for myself!

In this episode I uncover the intertwining of horticulture & Agriculture, the best varieties of Strawberries for every situation and what really goes into growing our fruit from end to end... it's a lot more than you might think and it will make you really value the opportunity to grow your own too.

This weeks podcast is a little bit special, many of you know that I met todays guest just one year ago, a relationship which initially started as a client, but soon blossomed into a deep friendship. Roz Chandler is a British Flower Farmer and owner of Field Gate Flowers, proudly supplying sustainable, seasonal blooms.

This last year has been her most challenging yet, as earlier this year she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, but famous for her positive can do attitude, she’s been documenting the journey through Instagram.

Me & Roz have become known for sharing snippets of our conversations online, often hilarious moments, serious chats, business ideas and outtakes. Many of you have commented about our relationship, and we even ended up featured in an episode of Woman’s Weekly. So in this episode I’m pleased to let you in on one of our conversations in its totality. We discuss what it takes to be a flower farmer, the moment she was diagnosed, how the journey has made Roz focus on her diet & lifestyle - and you can listen as she tries to persuade me to change mine!
