Sarah Raven launches new podcast series to inspire beginner gardeners

Sarah Raven has released a seven-episode miniseries of her chart-topping gardening podcast grow, cook, eat, arrange, providing specific advice for novice gardeners looking to create their own kitchen garden at home.

The series of 10-minute-long episodes will talk listeners through the process of curating a kitchen garden, with Sarah explaining where to begin, her must-have vegetables, salad, and herbs, and how to deter pests.

Commenting on the podcast miniseries launch, Sarah said: “We all dream of having freshly picked herbs and home-grown vegetables to cook with at dinnertime, but I know that having a kitchen garden feels unachievable for some. I’ve been growing veg for three decades, and so I’ve learned quite a lot, and I really want to share my knowledge of the kitchen garden as far and wide as I can. This series is the distillation of everything I’ve learned over that time. I’m going to start with the real basics and talk you through the most important things I think you need to know when getting started.”

In little over an hour of listening, novice gardeners will be equipped with important gardening knowledge to curate a kitchen garden from scratch. Sarah explains common garden terminology, including demystifying the difference between hardy and half-hardy annuals, while also providing simple information surrounding common garden pests and diseases, and top tips for small-space gardening.

Listeners will benefit from Sarah’s expert advice on growing popular and beginner-friendly salads, herbs, and vegetables including parsley, rosemary, runner beans, tomatoes, chives, and courgettes.

“I have designed this series to be a go-to source of information and education that is accessible for those who are new to gardening. I hope the series inspires new gardeners and that homes across the globe enjoy fresh herbs as a result very soon!”
