I am a Solo Gardener..... and if you feel alone out there... I do to sometimes... well let this be your community... i like to help people where i can and i believe the best gardener is a humble gardener forever learning... helping each other bringing each other up.
We can all share our stories our knowledge together and a have laugh along the way.
I love this job.. i care about peoples gardens... i care about my customers. And my goal is to make them smile at the end of a hard days work. When i put my spade back in my van and turn around for a hand shake well done.... it's what drives me.
If you've got any crazy stories or great knowledge you would like to share on this podcast... i'd love to hear from you.. wherever you are.
Or if you're starting out and you've got questions chuck em my way.
Take care peeps
