Sip & Sow with Tom Coleman – Détails, épisodes et analyse

He seemed to appear out of nowhere just a few years ago, but now Jonny has become a household name with his comedy reels and his prestigious lawn. @gardenwithjonny makes gardening accessible, relevant and funny (with many people passive aggressively tagging in their husbands and wives into some of his reels). It's no surprise then that his accounts on Instagram and Tiktok have become viral sensations, growing hundreds of thousands of followers and inspiring people up and down the country to make improvements to their gardens.

In this first of a brand new series of episodes recorded LIVE at Shrewsbury Flower show in August 2024, Jonny talks about how this has been a swift but beneficial change from his career as a firefighter. He candidly talks about some of the mental health challenges that can bring and how gardening has helped him through some challenging times, as well as talking about the pesky algorithms on social media and how he's found his rapid rise in popularity!

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.

The Glasshouse stands as an emblem of hope and transformation in the heart of London. This unique botanical project is not just about cultivating plants but also nurturing souls. Focused on supporting women in prison, The Glasshouse bridges the gap between confinement and reintegration into society.

Amidst the city's hustle and bustle, this green haven provides a therapeutic space where imprisoned women can learn about horticulture, fostering skills that go beyond gardening. The act of planting, nurturing, and watching a seed grow mirrors their own journey of personal growth and rehabilitation. Through the simple yet profound acts of tending to plants, these women find solace, purpose, and a renewed sense of self-worth.

But The Glasshouse does more than just plant seeds in the soil; it sows seeds of hope, empowerment, and change. By equipping these women with valuable skills and a renewed sense of purpose, it aids their transition back into the community. This botanical project underscores the belief that, like plants, with the right environment and care, individuals can thrive and blossom, irrespective of their past. In bridging nature with rehabilitation, The Glasshouse illuminates a path of resilience, growth, and second chances.

Hosted by Tom Coleman, self taught gardener, creator and social media expert. Tom chats to those who are making huge strides in our sector and leaves listeners with even more ideas and motivation blossoming in their minds.

This week I'm recording the podcast inside one of the world's most famous department stores, Fortnum & Mason. I'm joined by Niall Gardens, who's flown over from Ireland to meet me. Niall is well known as a passionate gardener, tending to nature's wonders and teaching thousands on YouTube the art of planting, nurturing, and flourishing. He's also an airline pilot, following his childhood dream, touching down in corners of our world many only dream of.

Niall's unique journey teaches us that there are no bounds to what we can achieve, whether it's cultivating a garden that breathes life or soaring above the clouds. He reminds us of the beauty in staying grounded, yet also chasing our dreams, however lofty they might be. This podcast is one for all of the dreamers and believers who believe in intertwining their passions, no matter how contrasting they might seem.

We chat about how Niall's gardening journey has unfolded, how he ended up following his dreams and not compromising on any of them, why he's so passionate about making exceptionally good quality content, and lots more.

Special thanks to Fortnum & Mason for hosting us, and for The glasshouse for inviting us along to their event, which you'll be able to find out even more about in next weeks episode.

In a world drowning under the weight of plastic, our gardens and green spaces have not been spared. Each year, millions of plant pots contribute to our ecological crisis, casting a shadow on the vibrant tapestry of our horticultural legacy. But what if we could redefine the way we nurture nature?

Can the fleece of sheep truly pave the way to a greener tomorrow with wool pots?

Join us, as we venture into a journey of discovery, diving deep into solutions, innovations, and the incredible minds propelling our industry into a sustainable future. 

This is not just a podcast; this is a call to action, an inspiration to all who believe in a world where gardens not only bloom but thrive sustainably.

In this episode I'm joined by Graham from Wool Pots. They had an idea to ditch the mountain of plastic pots that plagues horticulture and knit their way into garden centres and nurseries on stitch at a time. Can wool pots be the sustainable answer for our plants of the future? They're already making huge strides with trials in some of the UK's biggest garden centre chains... No corner is left unturned as we discuss the challenges and hurdles that come with a drive for a more sustainable future.

Today’s guest is Lee Connelly, or you might know him as The Skinny Jean Gardener. Lee has been passionately plugging children’s gardening for years, as a BBC Blue Peter presenter, on stage, around the world, in his book, and recently lobbying here in the UK government to get gardening back on the curriculum. 

We sat down in his garden, on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year, and talked about all of that and why gardening should be more accessible to the younger generation and the multitude of benefits that will bring.

In this weeks episode Tom visits Daisy Payne, best known as the gardening presenter on ITV This Morning.  Daisy started her horticultural journey long before that though - documenting her ups and downs on instagram and making growing stuff accessible for everyone, before being spotted by an ITV producer, who wanted to help her to continue breaking down those barriers and make gardening easy for the masses. 

Join us as we sit down in her garden with a G&T to discuss all of that, her plans for the garden, plus some exciting news for the year ahead…

This weeks podcast has taken me to Glasgow to meet Andy Peasgood. A gardener who’s passionate about new build homes coming with great foundations and garden spaces, to encourage those who buy them to grow and getting them off to the best start. 

We also chat about what it’s really like gardening ‘up north’, with delayed seasons and tougher conditions and if there really is a gap in the horticultural community in Scotland that’s just waiting to be closed… 

It was a pleasure to visit Andy and get to see his fantastic garden first hand and see just what can be done in a relatively small, new build space, some of the innovation and thinking is ingenious and I can’t wait for you to hear all about it!
