this is my favorite gardening podcast by far! I just love it and have listened to all of the episodes at least three times. I only wish the episodes came out more often.

Description

The new Super Cool Plants podcast (formerly Let's Argue About Plants) from Fine Gardening magazine is where botanical enthusiasts celebrate standout plants for nearly every situation. Each episode features a rotating panel of horticultural pros from across North America sharing their favorite picks around a specific theme – whether it's deer-resistant performers, top shade standouts, or must-have natives. Hosted by Fine Gardening editors Carol Collins and Danielle Sherry, the show blends expert insight with approachable conversation, introducing listeners to a wide range of plants including familiar favorites and under-the-radar gems. The goal is simple: to expand plant knowledge, spark new ideas, and help everyone (the hosts included) become better gardeners.
