Gardening for Wellness & Joy: White Strawberries
Welcome to White Strawberries, where gardening, permaculture, and sustainable living nourish body, and spirit and the planet. I’m Sam—a gardener, mum, educator and podcaster.
This is my passion! So, I'm glad you're here. Each episode explores an aspect of growing and eating nutrient-dense foods and growing flowers for joy.
I cover garden design, soil health, mushrooms, animal integration, and seasonal growing insights along side in-kitchen gardening and cut flowers. Because growing biodiversity means everything grows better.
I am a self confessed lazy gardener, who aims to do things efficiently with max returns.
🌱 Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener, I hope you'll join me each week.

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.
