Report
Floral designer and broadcaster Hazel Gardiner has been part of the Why Women Grow sisterhood long before we hit record: she was the first woman I interviewed for the book. I’d been aware of Hazel’s distinctive approach to floristry and her advocacy for diversity and inclusivity in horticulture for some time. But when I learned of how gardening had helped her when she was undergoing treatment for a rare form of cancer, I realised how deep and unique her relationship to the earth was.  We celebrated the Why Women Grow exhibition at the Garden Museum earlier this year by recording our first ever live episode with Hazel. Do check her out on Instagram, @hazelgardinerdesign. We’re so grateful to the Garden Museum for hosting the episode and the Why Women Grow exhibition. This podcast is inspired by my book,⁠⁠ Why Women Grow: Stories of Soil, Sisterhood and Survival⁠⁠, which is available from all good book shops.   The Why Women Grow podcast is produced by Holly Fisher, and theme music is by Maria Chiara Argiro. We’ve also been photographing our guests and their gardens and you can see the beautiful images captured by Siobhan Watts on my instagram account @⁠⁠alicevincentwrites⁠⁠. The Why Women Grow podcast is produced by Holly Fisher, and theme music is by Maria Chiara Argiro.
