Welcome to Not Just a Garden!


A name that came about after we laboriously tackled a weed-infested, overgrown, black-run-steep patch of field into something vaguely resembling a garden. Literal blood, sweat and tears were spent in the process but once the beds were built, the plants began to grow and the wildlife took over, we agreed it was not just a garden, but something so much more; a shared achievement, a bonding experience, an escape from screens, a hideaway for tranquil moments, a safe space to sit and put the mad and confusing world to rights.


Our continued shared love of gardening has had us avidly watching Gardeners’ World each week, taking notes here, animatedly discussing there, which has in turn lead us to giving a Sweetpea & Bear style recap on our podcast! Just a mother and daughter chewing the fat over Nick, Frances and Adam’s big garden moves, enjoying Monty and Toby’s poetic presenting, learning intriguing garden history from Advolly and hanging off Carol’s every propagating word.


The programme has also brought into our living rooms each week a novice, professional, serious, hilarious, quirky, eccentric, inspiring world of guests, all of whom we want to know so much more about. So our Good Ol' Chit-Chats series was born; each episode we chat with a previous guest on Gardeners’ World and find out more about what would make their dream garden.


So grab a cup of tea and flask of coffee, a glass of wine, a whisky, a Pimms, an Apple and Pear juice or anything in between, and join us for a Good Ol’ Chit-Chat about Not Just a Garden!

    Ep46: A Good Ol' Chit-Chat With... Rajat Jindal
    Oct 12 2025

    Rajat Jindal was on Gardeners' World 2025, episode 22 showing us his magnificent Great Dixter inspired garden in Suffolk. On this episode of Chit-Chats we find out about hornbeam topiary, accidental Claire Voies, death row meals, Oxbridge potato wars, and how you can have a greenhouse that authorities may deem "too polite".

  • Gardeners' World 2025 Recap: Ep 26

    Gardeners' World 2025 Recap: Ep 26
    Oct 8 2025

    We risk being cancelled this week by giving the BBC a piece of our minds, but we also talk about micro-hydro units, the ecosystems of belly buttons, edible six-pack rings, the perils of planting parsley if you're a woman, and the huge part snails play in the beauty industry.


    This week on Gardeners' World, Frances hosts from Damson Farm with Rua Tophill and Alison and Twiggy Jenkins. We meet Ashleigh Whiffin, Curator of Entomology at the National Museums Scotland, and Nick Bailey takes us to Cambridge University Botanic Garden to hear from Professor Beverley Glover about the science of how plants make colour. Edmund, Alice, Arlen and Rufus show us around their pretty garden in Kent and Rekha talks all things veg from her beautiful hillside plot in the Peak District.

    Ep45: A Good Ol' Chit-Chat With... Greg Anderton
    Oct 5 2025

    Greg Anderton was on Gardeners' World 2025 episode 17 during which he gave a behind-the-scenes look at his preparations for the first RHS Wentworth Woodhouse show - where he won a gold! In this episode of Chit-Chats we find out about the judging of such shows, how he starts preparing for them, and the accommodation challenges involved - especially if you suffer with ovinaphobia! We also hear about running a business since primary school, swimming with frogs, and Greg and Sweetpea's shared love of gardens with cake.
