It was inevitable that one day this gardening bug would grow further 😀
I've been working on the the idea of a gardening podcast for a while. But it's not something that could have been done alone. Not only would the research and work get overwhleming for one person, it needed more voices to keep it interesting. I was thinking about something like Gardening Australia, where a group of presenters talk about different topics. Of course, it would be difficult to manage, but the different voices would keep people engaged.
I reached out to Mom first to ask who could be a good fit for this. The person needed to be an amateur balcony gardener, have knowledge and be able to understand podcast and the technology behind it. She suggested Sangeeta, who was enthusiastic in her gardening journey and comfortable with technology. I also asked my cousin, Chandana, whether she would be interested. Both of them said yes!
So, we started working on it. Deciding the seasons and the sections was the most difficult thing. We wanted a mix of short and long sectiosn to add variety. We wanted to share failures as well as success. And we wanted to not overwhelm people with too much information in one section.
Finally, our 1st episode was ready to be launched! We launched it on 20th Mar 2021, on plant-a-seed day. Quite befitting, don't you think?
