Let’s face it, there’s no better feeling than pottering in your garden, but when life prevents you from being outside, you can always fill the void with a gardening podcast. Elevate your gardening knowledge by tuning into these five gardening podcasts this year.
Why listen to gardening podcasts?
Podcasts are a new form of media that has dramatically increased in popularity since they were first created in 2004. The rapid rise in popularity is due to the convenient nature of podcasts. Unlike television which requires you to look at a screen, users can listen to podcast audio episodes covering a wide variety of topics on the go. Most podcasts are hosted by professionals who share high-quality content from their fields of expertise such as health and wellness, technology and gardening.
