Why Women Grow

“This podcast is what I listen to when I need calmness. It’s a series of interviews with women about their gardens and why they grow plants. Often the interviews are conducted in the garden and you can hear birds in the background. I love the moments when you can sense a woman is pointing at a specific plant nearby and talking about her affection for it. Start with the Sarah Raven episode. The conversation about leaf color made me eyeball plants at the garden center and thinking how I can use them to add new tonal dimensions.”

“Again, as someone who doesn't usually turn to podcasts, I've been really enjoying this project from author Alice Vincent. Interviews with interesting women about their relationship to plants and gardening. A real gem.”

“This podcast is such a delight. Alice Vincent speaks to creative women from all walks of life about what draws them to "go to ground." Each episode takes place in the guest's garden, so you get the pleasure of hearing the local birds and bees in the background. But gardening is just an entry point for a more nuanced conversation about navigating life, work, and creativity. Click through to my favorite episode, Jamaica Kincaid on gardening as writing.”
