GraysonipPragmatic, Actionable and KindJill consistently delivers actionable, pragmatic and cost effective gardening advice. Her kind demeanor makes the podcast is a welcomed listen - week after week. I pray that you are healed, and thank you for sharing your faith. Although you don’t impose your belief on listeners, it’s been a blessing to know that you trust God. It encourages my faith too. The Lord cover and keep you always.

PrisThompsomLove the simplicityI love how simple Jill is and how she will try new ideas and items. I also love the spiritual piece at the end and how she doesn’t push it on users. If you don’t ant to listen then you just shut off.

sarahselahwGreat Gardening ShowI just discovered Jill’s show and it’s been perfect timing starting my first garden! I find the episodes so informative and enjoyable. Jill is brave enough to be vulnerable with us to share her faith and struggles. She’s a natural teacher!

asfghjkllhgffdssssGreat podcast!I have been gardening for a large part of my life but am still learning a lot from your podcast. Your podcast is the most practical and interesting that I have found. Also thank you so much for sharing your faith. You are an encouragement and inspiration to many of the rest of us! (Just remember that … and the beatitudes Matthew 5)

JenArm3616Look forward to these podcastsAs a fairly new gardener, I get so much out of these podcasts. I look forward to getting new episodes twice per week. Thanks, Jill.

Discovery recyclingJust what I needed!!!Thank you Jill! I’ve listened to 10 episodes so far and they’re all what I needed to hear. Very interesting and packed full of all of the aspects of the topic.

OTSPOKNJill is great!I always learn so much and she is like listening to a friend. When I have gotten frustrated with my garden she is there to let me know it is ok and it’s all a learning experience! Great practical information that is explained in such a way that anyone would be able to understand. Thanks Jill!
-
ecofriendlyfloBible and preaching 👎🏾Loved the content until she started talking about religion and the Bible in the recent episode. If I wanted to hear about Christianity, I’d go to church. Unsubscribing.

SweetcodiBest home gardener help podcast out there.This podcast is well thought out, researched and edited. Jill is an amazing hostess, and is concise and concerned with helping you become a gardener for the long term. She’s not product hocking (well, ok- there are some sponsors) but instead offers some beautiful comprehensive courses on both getting started on your garden from the very first seed, and her harvest to kitchen series where she shows you what to do with all that stuff you just grew! She puts a lot of work into making things easily understandable for beginners, but also really does the research to give answers to questions big and small about gardening. Can I just say that as a midwesterner myself, it is so nice to hear from someone gardening here in the middle like I am and not in a subtropical climate on one of the coasts?!? Yay!!!! I recommend this podcast to any of my friends and family who want to get growing. It’s the best one out there in my opinion- and I’m very grateful for Jill’s efforts. Thank you, Jill!!!

PatB78Great information!Although I wouldn’t classify myself as a “beginner gardener”, I still listen to Jill’s podcast on a weekly basis because she gives a lot of great information that I can apply to my gardening skills. I also appreciate the small Bible devotion she sometimes gives at the end of her podcasts. Keep up the good work, Jill!

bikerbird2Thanks 🙏 for kindnessYea finally I got a person who care to take the time to explain. How to garden a great way. Bless you and family
-
JkuiselGreat!I’ve been listening for about 6mo. Really great info in every episode. I appreciate the step-by-step instructions often given. And Jill is not only knowledgeable but easy to listen to. I really like the deeper contemplation at the end of the episodes, too!
-
momoffourMTEasy to followThis podcast has great information, in an easy to follow presentation. I like to go to the nerds for gardening advice, and I think she does her research well and finds helpful information to share, while not claiming to know everything. Best of all, she loves Jesus, which is important to me because it affects how we view everything in life, even gardening.
-
a ronan fanGardening info but not Jesus stuff pleaseGood info for gardeners but not interested in the jesus stuff she preaches. If I wanted that I’d go to church. A complete turnoff
-
FMJ88Long winded. She takes forever to make her point.Skip this podcast

Bookworm84074Love this show!Full of awesome info. Especially loved the tomato trellis podcast today. I use hogwire fence panel and wind my tomato leaves around the wire to help the stay on the trellis and that episode really struck home.
-
Vic-ALove how Jill connects God’s word to gardeningAs long as I can remember, I’ve loved growing flowers and plants, but only became interested in vegetable gardening a couple of years ago. Now that I’m retired and have the time, I want to learn as much as I can. In just the short time that I’ve been listening to Jill’s podcast, I have learned so much and really enjoy her teaching. Jill is a great communicator and interviewer. I feel as if she and my love for gardening are a gift from the Lord.
-
NougatwuerfelGardening with GodI love Jill‘s podcast. She is very thorough, well organized and i always learn tons of things. Especially I enjoy her going deeper by sharing her faith. It is very edifying in uncertain times like this.
-
yellikehGood info but unfollowed after religious referenceInterested in learning about gardening, which the host provides, but turned off by religious euphemisms.
-
EngrNPRGreat gardening tips!I absolutely love this podcast! I have learned so much, and really enjoy Jill’s podcast style. She is always well prepared with great information, and shared about pertinent gardening topics. Love this podcast! Highly recommend!
-
ChristianMamaBear1989Great gardening tips!I am excited to start gardening and I appreciate all the tips to get started. God bless you!
-
cindymae80Love it!So many helpful tips & really gets into the basics if you are new (me!) It’s help from ground zero which is exactly what I need & the free (right now) courses are AWESOME! Thank you Jill!!
-
Ashleigh RutlandNew Gardener’s Best Friend!This podcast has truly inspired & guided me into starting my very first garden this year! Jill is extremely informative, candid & I am SO grateful for your podcast! I just finished your mini course “before you sow” and it was fantastic.
-
Portland first-time gardenerLove, love, love!Your podcast has quite simply changed my life. You gave me the confidence to try to be a first-time gardener (even if I’m the very beginner variety!!) and a very practical way to define success, which includes expecting things to be imperfect and celebrating problems as learning opportunities. I love your garden journal and am SO glad you recommended recording details that I would never has remembered but now rely on daily. I really appreciate how you translate things into 101-level and provide so much detail on your experiences. I look forward to binge-listening to old episodes and starting new ones the day they’re available. I could go on and on. And as for the negative reviews on religious elements, I can honestly say that as a person who does not necessarily share the same belief system as you, I’m so confused about why that would bother anyone since it’s limited to the very end of the episode to make it an optional listening component. And more often than not, I choose to listen because it’s lovely to hear why gardening is so deeply meaningful to you personally—something I’m certain many gardeners can relate to no matter their particular belief or non-belief variety. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jill!!! 5 MILLION stars!

GoCubdDon’t want church a garden podcast -unsubscribeChurch or Dirt? This podcaster needs to make a decision. I’m not sticking around for an answer.

screwedtoogood showif that sticky sweet voice wasn't so annoying
-
happieoilerepisode 209 is greatI am learning so much and I am so grateful for your podcasts. I just got done listening to episode 209 Small Space Kitchen Gardening with Nicole Burke. It is amazing. I’ve been thinking I have to keep up with all the amazing big gardeners out there but this just put me so at ease and took off SO much pressure I put on myself. A big THANK YOU to both you and Nicole.

Southern IceInformative and humbleJill is a delightful and personable host. Her podcasts are well organized, thoughtful, and informative while being humble regarding her mistakes. Really glad I found this one!

cali life 🐚The Best Beginners Garden PodcastI’ve listened to Jill over the past three years, and each podcast I learn something new. She got me hooked. And her approach of taking it slow, learning from mistakes, and weaving in science just when you need it. I really recommend this as the first place to go if you want to learn about gardening. And as other reviewers have mentioned, Jill’s very down to earth and very clear. Could not say enough about this podcast, and the many great speakers she enlists to help!
-
SaucysaurusInformative Gardening tipsLove this garden podcast and the variety of content that is seasonally timed! From the short questions answered to the longer in depth guest sessions - all are great to learn new things about vegetable gardening.
-
Erin0223Love!Very kind and humble speaker. Jill does a great job of sharing the information she learns in her garden. One of my favorite podcasts to listen to!
-
langfordcrHighly recommend!I discovered Jill’s podcast last summer as a new gardener and was immediately a fan. I binge-listened all summer long. She’s truly a teacher and you’ll feel like she’s your new best friend. You won’t regret becoming a regular listener! Check out her courses, too!
-
Smg7Excellent and Easy To UnderstandI love the grounded easy to understand way she teaches. I want to hear from gardeners that share a similar approach to organic practices and appreciate the value that insects bring to the garden. Lots of good science here! Do not be turned off by a few negative reviews on the religious content sometimes shared in the last five minutes of the podcast. Just don’t listen to that. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater! You’ll be missing out!
-
Gin gin24Useful and approachableThis is such an unpretentious look at gardening. Lots of helpful tidbits for many levels of gardeners. I so appreciate the honesty of both gardening successes but also failures! On another note, there is sometimes a religious aspect every now and then, but it’s not at all overwhelming. Normally this would be a turn off for me but I can appreciate making that connection to the awesomeness of nature even though I’m not a religious person.
-
cest toutStop with the gospelI respect your beliefs. However, what does that have to do your audience’s beliefs? Please don’t make gardening an excuse to evangelize. Respect that people have many different beliefs, and that we could still come together and care for one another and the planet. You are already sharing your love, you don’t need to get preachy.
-
cnw1954Gardening is great. Not everyone wants a sermon.I find religious material snuck into informative podcasts so obnoxious.
-
ParentTeacherLReligion againI am so tired of people and their religious evangelizing every topic on earth. If I wanted to listen to a podcast on religion, I would subscribe to that. Let’s get back to gardening and leave the politics and religion to their topics. I listen to gardening podcasts for an escape.
-
CopaseticPirateUnexpected religiosityI’m an atheist, so was put off by the christian content. You had me until the bible study discussion.
-
Su in MAFilled with great info!Each show is packed with great info! I especially love the new 101 in depth series. Jill is a fantastic teacher and is down to earth and relatable!
-
EricabluA lot of Jesus-talkBeware, the podcaster talks about Jesus for a third of the episode. If you’re like me and not interested, there are other gardening podcasts.
-
SetnomacorSo personableJill could be your neighbor who turned out to be a great friend . I gardened in years past in containers but I moved to the Utah high desert and my first time on my own property. I’ll be able to start my first one here next summer so I’m getting a head start. She gives good guidance and is open to learning from listeners and her experience each year. So relaxing to listen and a very kind southern voice will make you feel at home.
-
Angela the over weightONIONS!!!I excellent show on onions, very informative.
-
SavingsInSeconds.comMy favorite podcastI’ve been gardening on a small scale for over 20 years—containers, in ground, and raised beds. I love listening to Jill’s podcast because she breaks things down in such a simple, doable way. I always learn something new.
-
MS923Great podcast.I have learned so much and I enjoy many of the topics on the podcast. Worth a listen! I just skip the last few minutes of the show where she starts talking about religion. Simple as that!
