Best Gardening Podcasts


Grow, Cook, Eat, Arrange 

Sarah Raven is a formidable scientist, plantswoman and author and well known for the oasis she has created at Perch Hill in East Sussex, UK where she trails and sells flowers via https://www.sarahraven.com/

We love the distinctly British accents and perspectives that Sarah and co-host Arthur Parkinson bring to this plant feast!

Arthur worked for Sarah at Perch Hill for over ten years and they share a delectable way with plant words and exquisite taste in cut flowers. If you want to learn how to make a "bulb lasagna" or "the secret to sweet peas" then this show for you.

Best for gardeners and those passionate about home gardening, vegetable gardens, and sustainable planting practices. Sarah explores seasonal planting, garden style, and the art of floral arrangements with a practical yet inspiring approach.



A Way to Garden

A long-time favorite among garden designers and home gardening enthusiasts alike. While a bit dry in tone, it’s packed with practical advice on everything from invasive plant species to climate change’s effect on the food supply system. Ideal if you want to level up your backyard, edible gardens, or herb garden.



Gardening with the RHS

Your gateway to the Chelsea Flower Show and conversations with top landscape architects. Expect episodes on everything from succulent gardens to climate-smart tips and really top notch scientific gardening perspectives from the best in the business. Perfect for anyone obsessed with garden ornaments, picturesque gates, and smart ways to care and maintain your outdoor spaces. 



Best Florist Podcasts


Slow Flowers Podcast

The Slow Flowers movement was founded by Debra Prinzing, an author, speaker, and advocate for the domestic American floral industry. She started the podcast to champion American-grown flowers, highlight sustainable farming practices, and give flower farmers and floral designers a platform to share real stories and practical advice. What began as a conversation about locally grown stems has become an invaluable resource for florists and designers looking to align their sourcing with eco-friendly values and seasonal beauty.

This was one of the first podcasts I was obsessed with when I started out as a florist and Debra has been a tireless mentor to me and so many others farmers and florists over the years.

If you want to get started growing, run a floristry business or want to find your community, this dedicated weekly show and enormous archives are packed with insights and opportunities to learn and grow together.


Botanical Brouhaha

Hosted by founder and creative Director, Amy McGee and florist Natalie Gill of Native Poppy, Botanical Brouhaha is all about capturing the human side of floral design, heartfelt interviews with florists, designers, and creative entrepreneurs who shape today’s floral industry. While you’ll find practical tips woven throughout, the real draw is hearing how personal stories, traditional home gardening techniques, and a love of natural materials come together to inspire garden style, floral artworks, and biophilic design. 

We have long been listeners of the podcast and love it even more since Natalie joined for her honesty and wit. Amy also has the biggest heart and is a personal champion for her guests and the industry at large.

The blog of the same name also contains a wealth of information for new or experienced florists.

The podcast is hosted by Kelly and covers floral mechanics, design theory, business tips, and the bigger picture of how flowers connect us to nature.

Best Interior Design Podcasts


Dear Alice

Tailored for interior designers and home decorators, Dear Alice is hosted by Jessica Bennett, Suzanne Hall and Cori Place from the talented interior design firm, Alice Lane, which includes an online shop Alice Lane Home, for which they design their own gorgeous products. The three co-hosts balance each other beautifully and make for a very likable, relatable listen for those working on their homes or in the industry. The podcast explores all practical aspects of design and has a huge archive of useful information, especially if you're working on a renovation. I love to use it to search for specific keyword topics like flooring, kitchens, drapery etc and am never disappointed with the thorough perspectives they provide.



Business of Home

The Business of Home podcast is hosted by the ever articulate and possibly the most- connected-man-in-the-home-design-biz, Dennis Scully. The podcast focuses on conversations with some of the biggest names in the industry, as well as up-and-coming designers or manufacturers sharing their unique journeys. Alongside deep-dive interviews, they also host The Thursday Show, where they unpack the week’s interior design industry news — trends, challenges, and what’s shaping the future for design firms and trade professionals alike. Excellent for a quick listen to catch up on the latest design events of the week.



A Well Designed Business

Expect practical conversations on everything from pricing structures to client relations and marketing, plus inspiring interviews with leading designers as well as lesser known entrepreneurs. It’s a good listen for anyone balancing the creative and operational sides of interior design.



The Great Indoors

Hosted by British interior designers and authors Sophie Robinson and Kate Watson-Smyth, The Great Indoors is a warm, witty show with good accents for anyone obsessed with interiors, whether you’re an established interior designer or just a decor enthusiast. The friends are not afraid of a good chat over a cup a tea and bold colors! They break down trends, share design dilemmas, and chat through everything from bold color palettes to vintage finds and architectural detail. It’s like catching up with humorous, design-savvy friends.



Bonus for Entrepreneurs: Our Best Business Podcasts


Shopify Masters

Shopify Masters is a great listen for small business owners, creative entrepreneurs and makers looking to grow an online store. Hosted by Shuang Esther Shan, it features real-life stories from founders who share how they built their brands, covering everything from sourcing and product design to scaling operations and marketing strategies. Great practical tips from sometimes surprisingly large business who started small. Shuang is great at asking targeted questions that you'll want to know the answers to.



How I Built This

Hosted by Guy Raz, How I Built This is the classic go-to for big-picture inspiration. Each episode goes behind the scenes with founders of some of the world’s best-known brands - think design firms, lifestyle companies, and creative startups, to unpack how they turned an idea into an empire. If you've been a listener for many years like I have you'll love the slow pace of Raz' interview style and his seemingly dumbfounded responses to how founders recovered from big set-backs before making it big through a mix of luck and hard work. It's a formula that has me hooked every time. If there was a prize for the sexiest nerdy podcast host it would definitely go to Guy!



Marketing School - Digital Marketing and Online Marketing Tips

Hosted by marketing pros Neil Patel and Eric Siu, Marketing School delivers daily, bite-sized tech tips, clever marketing hacks, and fresh ideas on new tools to try. It’s perfect for small businesses owners wanting to sharpen their marketing and SEO skills and stay on top of the ever-shifting digital landscape without needing a full-time marketing team. Each episode used to be a swift 5 minutes but they're recently doing content lasting 15-20 mins and have added video via https://www.youtube.com/@marketingschoolpod So many practical nuggets my only warning is try not to get overwhelmed!




My First Million

Hosted by Shaan Puri and Sam Parr, My First Million shares outlandish tales of success by some very intense people, from quirky startups to giant exits. It’s entertaining, a bit unhinged, but sprinkled with solid tidbits for the regular small business owner who wants to test new ideas, spot trends, or just get inspired to think bigger.



Why We Love Podcasts for Daily or Weekly Inspiration


Podcasts give you easy access to a wealth of knowledge, from expert interviews to interesting story telling and practical advice. Whether I'm tackling a challenge, exploring new design ideas, or facing a creative block, a good podcast can remind me I'm not alone, help me learn and grow or just be a good laugh, sometimes at 1.5x the speed.


I love that many of these shows discuss sustainable practices in home gardening and interior design, something that’s increasingly important whether you’re styling a terracotta-pot-filled patio, looking for a lawn alternative, or creating sustainable floral installations.


Keeping up with the latest in garden trends and interior style doesn’t require endless scrolling. A few well-chosen podcasts can keep your creative batteries charged while you work, walk or drive. Finally, a word to the wise - earbuds around the house are anti social (at least keep one ear available for your significant other(s).
