The Drag Queen Gardener with Tom Leonard

Thursday, October 29, 2026 • Duration 53:52

Tom Leonard, better known as the Drag Queen Gardener, joins Mykal Hoare on The Gardener’s Lodge Podcast for a frank, funny conversation about gardening, drag and challenging expectations in horticulture. From taking on an overgrown allotment after a breakup to turning heads at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show as Daisy Desire, Tom shares how growing plants changed his life and why making mistakes is part of becoming a better gardener. We talk about LGBTQ+ visibility in gardening, the realities of sudden social media attention and why skilled horticulturists deserve better pay. We also explore his campaigning against glyphosate in public green spaces, the value of connecting with nature and our shared frustration with artificial grass. An honest conversation about finding your place in horticulture, standing up for what matters and making gardening more welcoming.

We discuss practical ways to practise mindfulness in the garden, from observing bees and pollinators to noticing the scents and textures of plants, alongside gardening with children and finding nature in urban spaces.

British Lichens with April Windle

Monday, April 27, 2026 • Duration 01:00:02

I’m joined by lichenologist April Windle from The British Lichen Society to uncover the hidden world of lichens. What they are, how they grow, and why they’re vital for biodiversity, air quality, and ecosystem health. We explore lichen identification, their role as bioindicators, and how they can even signal ancient woodlands and environmental change. We also touch on their cultural history, uses in natural dyes and medicine, and why gardeners should embrace lichens in their outdoor spaces. Plus, in Ask Mykal, I answer a common question about moss lawns and how to work with, rather than against, your garden conditions.
