This is my absolute favorite podcast! I love when Ken Druse is on. Please please do a episode about hedges. I’m trying to create “rooms of gardens in my yard and only heard once the birds are attracted to holly. I’m just wondering if there is any other great hedges. I’m wanting to attract birds and pollinators. I have a stumpery area that is buzzing with bees, just want to know more. Thank you. I absolutely love your show

Birds in the background are the best ❤️❤️❤️

I look forward to this podcast every week!

I’ve tried so many other gardening programs, but none feature the charming duo of Margaret Roach and Ken Druse. The interviews are fresh and the topics contemporary. The timely information mirrors the wonderfully relevant articles Ms. Roach pens for the New York Times.

I absolutely love the content covered in this podcast; however, the host, Margaret, is constantly interrupting her guests and answering questions that she’s just asked them. If it’s “the world according to Margaret,” then why even invite these experts on the show? I completely understand collaborative overlap language styles, but that’s not really what’s happening here. Please keep making awesome content, but please also keep a bit of awareness about cutting off your subject matter experts.

This show is so enjoyable. I love the relaxed but very informative conversations between Margaret and her guests. Thank you!

Margaret always has interesting topics and guests. I always learn something from every podcast.

No matter your interests and outdoor goals, you will find yourself enjoying a vast range of ecological and gardening topics. Time and again I feel surprised to find that I really liked even the topics that I thought I wouldn’t. Thank you for the scintillating and knowledgeable interviews, Margaret. Also, thank you for helping me to learn about native plants; I just planted my first grey birch and there’s more to come! Keep it coming please!

Please remember podcasts and the NYT go everywhere, even to the dry, drought prone west. And it would be great if the same guests were on and on and on. There are great gardeners, writers and nursery people west of the Mississippi. And don’t forget we know all about gardening in the heat.

The highlight of my day. Inspired delivery of intelligent content.

It is really difficult to listen to all the interruptions. Why have someone on the show if you constantly stop them from taking only to talk about yourself and everything you know? I’m sure the information is important but it is not being communicated effectively. Please let your guests finish their sentences before you jump in.

Short quality way to learn about gardening while weeding or commuting. Excellent interviews to top experts on variety of topics. A must listen to.

I took 4 years of Latin…. But I’m lost with Your botanicals. Any chance of a translation?

I love everything about this podcast. But I am wondering if you could perhaps cover some topics related to our drought out west. I live in the desert west of Salt Lake City and yearn for more advice on dealing with the drought and my gardens. I noticed that you cover issues related to the east coast but really no one is giving any advice about dealing with drought in areas not used to going without water. Keep doing what you’re doing! Love your podcast!!

I look forward to listening each week. A great variety of guests—all with passion, insight and information shared in a casual, friendly format.

Host is enthusiastic but her enthusiasm leads her to frequently interrupt her guests answers. Spend the whole program well over twenty minutes or more never answering the topic with specifics. Also topic selection and guests are frequently of low quality.

Thank you for having Craig on your show! Fantastic guest with incredible amounts of tomato information!

Generally informative, however recent interviews have been surprisingly unconcerned with environmental and health concerns. Recommending the use of glyphosate, a known carcinogen and endocrine disrupter as well as other toxic chemicals that are poisoning us, wildlife, and our environment is just reckless.

Margaret always has interesting guests, and covers a wide variety of fascinating aspects of horticulture. This podcast is always a “good listen” and I hope she keeps it going.

So many of us gardeners are biologists at heart. I love how Margaret Roach brings the two fields together.

Margaret Roach is a treasure of the horticultural family. I look forward to her Podcast and I love her website and blog full of useful gardening information and book recs. Also love reading Margaret in The NYT! I garden in Falls Village, CT, so her seasonal schedule is nearly identical to ours. Best, Margaret has taught me that weeding can be “treasure hunting” if you know all what to look for!

Margaret puts together great podcasts with top people in their fields. I have been gardening for many years, but I always learn something from her podcasts. Her show notes are exceptional and I use them as a reference on an ongoing basis. Thank you Margaret!

This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. I absolutely love all of your podcast because I’m a devoted gardener but I needed to hear about how to make my life more comfortable right now. Thank you!

Except maybe the cooking episodes-not my thing. I like the episodes with Ken Druse best. Monthly is perfect.

So, so glad I discovered Margaret a few months ago. Between her N.Y. Times column and her books, I’m covered. So wishing I could get to one of her open garden days.

Always informative with a great variety of guests who share their knowledges generously. I am always anticipating the next podcast. Thank you Margaret!

Love this podcast. I look forward to it every week. I’ve learned a lot about plants and much more—the wide variety of topics is great. Also I grew up in Copake but haven’t lived there for many years, so it’s lovely to hear the occasional bits of local horticultural news.

I love this podcast. I have found so many new places, new plants that I love following the cues discussed here. The website is as lovely as the podcast. I really enjoy the friendship between Margaret and Ken.

I love the breadth and depth of information, the guests, and the reading suggestions. I vow to start learning the Latin names.

I’ve been listening for 4 or 5 years now. I'm a Master Gardener and lifelong gardener who learns something new every episode. Thanks to Margaret, I'm now aware that a garden is about much more than the plants - it's about a whole ecosystem and we are the caretaker. Superb guests and Margaret’s own experience are a treasure trove for listeners. Thank you, Margaret, for all you’ve shared and continue to teach us!

Ms roach may be a wonderful gardener, but she’s a bow average interviewer..

Go glad I found your podcast.. it’s very informative. A pleasure to listen to while getting my walks in, time flies. The wealth of gardening knowledge is endless from Guest speakers as well as the host Margaret Roach. Many thanks Kath

Your interviews make my weekend. My IQ goes up after every one. Unfortunately it eventually sinks to my normal. But I like the feeling I’m smart for awhile. Kidding aside, your well researched questioning as well as your considerable knowledge contribute to the best podcasts I’ve experienced. I particularly like the exchanges between you and Ken Druse. Lots of chemistry as well as helpful information. Thank you. John

I’ve really started to “dig in” to gardening in a whole new fashion as I hit 6th decade! Your insight, and lovely way chatting with guests makes this such a gift!!! I have since purchased 2 of your books- you are truly a lovely soul! A treasure!

Thank you for your positivity and honesty about the world of gardening. You have a sincerity and really want to connect to your audience! Keep up the great work! Loved the podcast about Okra and never knew it could be utilized in so many ways!

I am a crazy gardener. I just love to garden, read about plants, dream about plants. Margaret provides such interesting topics and keeps me captivated and learning. I share her love of learning and finding ways to keep my garden happy, organic and full of wildlife. I love the conversations w Ken Druse and I look forward to this every week. I hope I can visit her garden one day- she is truly an inspiration- to this humble gardener.

Thank heavens for this podcast. Such amazing knowledge, “woo-woo” and amazing guests. I really love how Margaret is honest about her success and failures and how she’s so bloody honest.

I’ve been listening to A Way To Garden for several seasons. When I get behind on it, I catch up on the episodes while working in the garden. Margaret and her guests inspire me to be the best gardener I can be. The podcasts have introduced me to so many garden resources and personalities that I would never have discovered on my own. Thank you for a wonderful podcast, Margaret Roach!

Been looking for a helpful, concise garden podcast for years! Not only is it that but the personalities are charming! Wow :)

Even though I’m in North Texas and not New York, I look forward to hearing whatever Margaret has to say, about gardening or any other subject. I just wish it was longer. It always ends too soon. :)

I love love love Margaret’s podcast and look forward to it every weekend. My only beef is that I wish it was an hour long! Once I discovered A Way to Garden I went back to the beginning and listened to every one.

I remember when Margaret had another gal with her doing the podcast! I never miss listening to an episode, however I wish I lived closer so I could visit her gardens when open to the public.

Margret Roach tend to interrupt her guests and spend a lot of time talking about herself. I no longer enjoy this podcast.

I love that she can break down the most complex garden concepts into a vernacular that is easily relatable. A lady after my own heart, she gardens “ cheap and lazy”.

The topics not only vary greatly, but it's in language the novice gardener can understand.

Margaret Roach has been a leader in the gardening world for many years now from Martha Stewart to PBS she has been sharing her knowledge and passion for healthy food and living for many years. Her podcast inspires and educates in her classy style!

Don't be put off by how much Margaret loves to garden, or by the expertise of her guests. This is wonderful even for aspiring or novice gardeners. A favorite podcast of any genre.

informative guests.

Consistently topical!

I never fail to learn something new. Well spoken, intelligent woman. A joy to listen to.
