Great podcast! Starting from episode 1 and working my way up! So much knowledge.

I’ve been listening to Jill’s podcast for about three years now and absolutely love it! She has information for both beginners and seasoned gardeners because the garden is always a work in progress. And keep sharing your faith at the end! Thank you!

I’m a seasoned gardener, even a Master Gardener, and love Jill’s podcast. So much great info each episode

The garden information is lovely and helpful. Would give a five, but many ads and unannounced religious content.

There are snippets of information in each episode but most of the content is selling. I wish there was more meat on the bones.

Hands down the reason I’m becoming a successful gardener!! I listen while I clean houses, then I take the time to relisten and take notes! Also dream to Garden student!

The main content of the episode was decent, but got hit with bible study section at the end. I am not a Christian and don’t have any interest in that. I wanted a gardening podcast! Please be more upfront about the fact that this is a religious podcast.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you and your content! You have such a wealth of knowledge, and I really enjoy your teaching style. The only small thing I’d mention is the religious aspects—you share your beliefs so passionately, which is wonderful, but not everyone shares the same views. That said, don’t get me wrong, your podcast is truly the best! Keep up the great work!

Great episode. We get very cold in western Pennsylvania. I continue to add kitchen waste along with cardboard, paper, leaves etc…. It all freezes solid in my 4x4x4 bin system but when spring comes it thaws and all of the water that was frozen melts and the pile heats up and gets underway with no issues……..

Love your podcast but recent episodes you seem to be reading from a script and it’s taken away from your natural relatable style.

I have been gardening off and on for about four years now. I have just started to pick it back up in the last two years. This was the first podcast I listened to. It is so encouraging to hear Jill talk about both mistakes and successes. As far as the digging deeper portion, I look forward to it and gain so much insight. I am truly sorry to see that some people are offended by it. She is very transparent about going into the segment. It is at the very end of the podcast after she has shared specific information about gardening. She makes sure to let everyone know that she is about to talk about her faith. Overall, it’s a job well done. I have learned so much, and continue to learn from this podcast.

Bo

I was on the fence pre-bible lesson….I shrieked at my phone, jumped off and unsubscribed. Pathetic.

Was enjoying the gardening content but if I wanted a religious lesson I’d go to church. Unsubscribed.

I enjoy listening to this podcast as a beginner gardener. Jill offers good advice that is easy to digest and apply in my garden. She is also always cognizant of listeners in different zones from hers. My favorite part of the podcast is the digging deeper portion. I am a Christian and learn so much about God in my garden, and it is great to hear what God teaches Jill through her gardening journey. It's great to have a podcast that blends two of my worlds together!

I have been listening to Jill for a few years & I have learned SO MUCH!

Just have a Jesus podcast. Don’t waste the time of people who want to hear about gardening.

Excellent. This is the first podcast I go to when I need information about something garden-related. The topics are great and she goes into just the right amount of detail. I’m an atheist, and could do without the religious bits, but it’s easy enough to skip that section at the end so doesn’t change the score for me.

I wanted to like this podcast, I really did. However, I didn’t realize that there would be so much religious proselytizing into the content. For those of us who have been abused by people, claiming to be Christians, we don’t appreciate proselytizing being hidden in content. all I wanted was a gardening podcast. I wasn’t looking for religion.

If you are a beginning or intermediate gardener, this is an excellent podcast for you. Clear, concise, accurate information that any new gardener can use. I listen to Jill’s episodes first, before anything else on my playlist.

I love this Podcast, I have learned si much about starting my vegetable garden. This season I am going full on with a vegetable garden. I have grown a few vegetables before, but this time I am building a garden with garden beds , trellis etc. I always been intimidated to start my crops from seed, but thanks to this podcast I will attempt to start from seeds this year. Thank you so much for all the share with us in this podcast.

I have learned a lot from this podcast! Always really accessible and humble gardening advice. I appreciate that Jill shares ways she (and we) can learn from our mistakes along the way. I am not a religious person and I appreciate the way she separates the time where she speaks in depth about her faith, so listeners can choose whether or not to continue listening.

Excellent info. I always learn something new. Wonderful person.

I’m a first time/first year gardener and have found Jill’s podcast so helpful! She did a whole Beginners series that went into detail on specific plants and I learned so much and plan to re-play them as I prep for next year! 💚

I have learned so much from Jill and her guests on this show! I also love the digging deeper portions that help listeners find a deeper purpose in their gardening and life in general.

I come from a long line of farmers and gardeners, which unfortunately stopped with my parents. I quickly realized how little I know about gardening when I took a shot at it myself. With my grandparents no longer living, I am so grateful for this podcast to have somewhere to turn to learn the ins and outs of gardening. Jill makes things easy to understand and covers so many great topics. I cannot wait to carry on this skill through my children, and bring gardening back into our lineage.

Educational and relaxing, sweet Jill’s gardening talks lift my spirit and fill my thoughts with the beauty of God’s nature. Gentle and precious, a woman after the Lord’s own heart.

Found this pod cast for beginners and follow it daily. Love the information but love most the faith and vulnerable moments. Prayers for Jill's back, garden, and family.

I just found your podcast and listened to an old episode on container gardening. I am so thrilled to finally find a true beginners guide! As you say in your intro, the literature and many of the podcasts out there do not start at a most basic level. I am very excited to listen to more!

Such a great podcast for all of us learning to garden. Knowledge and kindness. What a gift!

Love this podcast!! Not only does Jill give good gardening advice but I love how she shares her faith, scripture, and real life lessons on how her faith works!

Try therapy instead of the Bible. Hit a point where the god stuff got annoying. Garden advice is novice. Okay podcast

Just found this podcast and already have learned so much from one episode! Also- I loved the last few minutes. Ignore the naysayers!! ❤️❤️ do not become weary in doing good!!

Jill consistently delivers actionable, pragmatic and cost effective gardening advice. Her kind demeanor makes the podcast is a welcomed listen - week after week. I pray that you are healed, and thank you for sharing your faith. Although you don’t impose your belief on listeners, it’s been a blessing to know that you trust God. It encourages my faith too. The Lord cover and keep you always.

I love how simple Jill is and how she will try new ideas and items. I also love the spiritual piece at the end and how she doesn’t push it on users. If you don’t ant to listen then you just shut off.

I just discovered Jill’s show and it’s been perfect timing starting my first garden! I find the episodes so informative and enjoyable. Jill is brave enough to be vulnerable with us to share her faith and struggles. She’s a natural teacher!

I have been gardening for a large part of my life but am still learning a lot from your podcast. Your podcast is the most practical and interesting that I have found. Also thank you so much for sharing your faith. You are an encouragement and inspiration to many of the rest of us! (Just remember that … and the beatitudes Matthew 5)

As a fairly new gardener, I get so much out of these podcasts. I look forward to getting new episodes twice per week. Thanks, Jill.

Thank you Jill! I’ve listened to 10 episodes so far and they’re all what I needed to hear. Very interesting and packed full of all of the aspects of the topic.

Thank you for everything you do! I love listening to your podcast! I am a novice in gardening and there is so much to learn! Thank you for being a great advocate!

I always learn so much and she is like listening to a friend. When I have gotten frustrated with my garden she is there to let me know it is ok and it’s all a learning experience! Great practical information that is explained in such a way that anyone would be able to understand. Thanks Jill!

Loved the content until she started talking about religion and the Bible in the recent episode. If I wanted to hear about Christianity, I’d go to church. Unsubscribing.

I feel like I’m talking with a friend. Thank you for your honesty and encouragement. I learn so much about gardening every time I listen! Thank you :)

Great informative podcast

Jill is a pleasure to listen to and very informative without talking down to her listeners.

Hey Everybody… Jill is my all things garden mentor! Dabbled with veggies n fruits but always learning so this year I kicked it in gear and have the courage to face all the challenges thanks to my mentor Jill. Living in middle Tennessee my climate is similar to Jills so It’s a win-win!! Perfect delivery both over the microphone or in a workshop!! Thank you GardenMentor!!

This podcast is well thought out, researched and edited. Jill is an amazing hostess, and is concise and concerned with helping you become a gardener for the long term. She’s not product hocking (well, ok- there are some sponsors) but instead offers some beautiful comprehensive courses on both getting started on your garden from the very first seed, and her harvest to kitchen series where she shows you what to do with all that stuff you just grew! She puts a lot of work into making things easily understandable for beginners, but also really does the research to give answers to questions big and small about gardening. Can I just say that as a midwesterner myself, it is so nice to hear from someone gardening here in the middle like I am and not in a subtropical climate on one of the coasts?!? Yay!!!! I recommend this podcast to any of my friends and family who want to get growing. It’s the best one out there in my opinion- and I’m very grateful for Jill’s efforts. Thank you, Jill!!!

Although I wouldn’t classify myself as a “beginner gardener”, I still listen to Jill’s podcast on a weekly basis because she gives a lot of great information that I can apply to my gardening skills. I also appreciate the small Bible devotion she sometimes gives at the end of her podcasts. Keep up the good work, Jill!

Yea finally I got a person who care to take the time to explain. How to garden a great way. Bless you and family

I’ve been listening for about 6mo. Really great info in every episode. I appreciate the step-by-step instructions often given. And Jill is not only knowledgeable but easy to listen to. I really like the deeper contemplation at the end of the episodes, too!
