Gardening for Wellness & Joy: White Strawberries
Based on your recent episodes, here is a polished podcast description that accurately highlights your exact mix of practical skills, guest experts, and holistic topics:
Welcome to White Strawberries, where gardening, permaculture, and sustainable living nourish body, mind, and planet. I’m Sam—a gardener, mum, educator, and self-confessed "lazy gardener" who loves working efficiently for maximum, delicious returns.
Each week, we explore practical ways to grow nutrient-dense food, foster resilience, and cultivate vibrant flowers for pure joy. From building food forests, living mulches, and fruit guilds to mastering plant propagation, composting, and soil health—we take the guess work out of the garden.
We dive into real-world growing: growing mushrooms, raising backyard poultry and livestock safely, fermenting, seed soaking, and managing garden extremes like storms and summer heat. Because when you design with nature and build biodiversity, everything thrives.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced grower, join me each week to simplify your garden and maximize your yield!

Let's do it together! I'll share my goals and lots of examples of what you might like.

Free Fig Cuttings It costs me $27 to send you three different types, postage, packaging and stripe. But given they're $2 each at the supermarket... I 100% think 3 fig trees are worth it. It's either that, or the prunings are getting composted. I DO. NOT. need more figs 😂 (Say that 100x over Sam)
