This week we are giving a general overview of what resilient gardening is, as well as some practices to take into your own gardening in a changing climate. 

This episode we are talking to Cassie from Flourish Events. Cassie has a flower farm in North Canterbury and she is a big advocate for using humates in her beds. Humate is an organic material rich in carbon, humic acid and fulvic acid and will absolutely super charge your soil!We also talk to Cassie about her farm, how she preps her beds, what she's growing and how she's growing it.

It's about to ramp up into the busy period for al us gardeners and sometimes it can be hard to keep straight what to do and when so this episode is all about it! We would love to hear from you about your garden plans for the coming season so get in touch @weliketogarden on Instagram! 

This week we sit down with Ruth, a fellow Christchurch gardener, to talk about how to successfully succession plant, how to compost and prep your garden for the coming season, as well as tips and tricks like getting your leeks to grow better and how to have a harmonious "organic-ish" garden.Ruth is on Instagram @grow.nuture.nourish and is on Secret Gardens (www.secretgardens.co.nz), although is taking a short break from having people come and visit the garden for the rest of 2023. But watch this space and book through Secret Gardens from 2024!

It's that time! This week we take you through what to prune, when and how. Pruning is one of those super satisfying garden jobs and we hope you enjoy! We both have a long list of jobs for the garden for this weekend and share what we're going to get up to.
