White Strawberries: Gardening for Wellness & Joy
Welcome to White Strawberries, where gardening, permaculture, and sustainable living nourish body, and spirit and the planet. I’m Sam—a gardener, mum and podcaster.
Each episode explores how growing and eating nutrient-dense, foods—from polyphenol-rich plants to adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha—supports vitality and a joyful, vibrant life.
I cover garden design, soil health, mushrooms, animal integration, and seasonal growing insights. I am a self confessed lazy gardener, who aims to do things efficently with max returns.
🌱 Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener, I hope you'll join me each week.

White Strawberries: Gardening for Wellness & Joy
Garden Goal Setting like a pro: Less Hustle, more Joy | Mastering the Garden
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Creating garden goals that bring you joy, wellness, and sustainability in 2026—without getting caught in the “more, more, more” trap!
I guide you through a simple four-question exercise to set achievable garden intentions:
- Choosing two new plants to try this year
- Making your garden easier and more sustainable
- Shifting your mindset to let go of what doesn’t serve you
- Tackling that one task you’ve been putting off, in a way that’s fun
Let's do it together! I'll share my goals and lots of examples of what you might like.
