Pottering with Tom Allen

More from me in the garden this week, just pottering away, but normal business will resume next Thursday! Yes, we’ve been busy behind the scenes getting everything ready, and I cannot wait for you to see who we’ve got coming up. ☀️

It is truly such a delight doing this podcast, and I do hope it brings some joyful calm to your commutes, your kitchens, your garden paths, or wherever you find yourselves listening.

Please do tell your friends about our quiet corner of the podcast world. Everyone is welcome in the garden. It is a calm and gentle space, pigeons and planes aside, but I would so love you to shout about it.

So, pop those parasols up, grab some crisps and dips, and let’s go Pottering. 🪴

Another week and more musings from the garden! While Pottering enjoys a small summer sojourn, I’m bringing you another collection of my favourite moments from the series. Clippings, if you will. 🌱

This week, we’ll be joined by Alan Carr, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Sarah Hadland, Ashley James, Ginger Johnson, Henry Agg, Sara Cox and Philippa Perry. From horticultural heroes to dear comedy colleagues, there really is something for everyone!

We discuss lunar mysteries and Mary Berry memories, Strictly secrets and drag delights. We explore the highs and horrors of social media and hark back to the humble fax machine. A simpler time.

So, slather on the Factor 50, shoo those Cabbage Whites away and join me in the garden for some Pottering. 🦋

Do like and subscribe to keep up to date with all things Pottering! And why not send me your garden pictures over on Instagram? I’d love to know how your cavolo nero has got on. 🪴

Here’s something a little different for Pottering this week! ☀️

I thought I would hop on to share a few thoughts from the garden, ‘sans guest’, if you will. And while the podcast takes a little summer holiday, I have gathered together some of my favourite moments from the second series to share with you all too. 🌱

I love welcoming you wonderful listeners, and viewers of course, into my garden each week. Whether you spend your days merrily mulching the borders or regularly find yourself wondering when the houseplants last had a drink, everyone is welcome here, and I would be delighted to hear from you.

Like and subscribe of course, but also why not share your floral creations with me on Instagram? Tag @tomindeed and use the hashtag #PotteringPod to get involved! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to fill our social feeds with hanging baskets and glorious garden goodies! 🌸

So, slip into your shorts, pause that episode of The Real Housewives, and join me once again for some Pottering. 🪴

An absolute joy this week to be joined among the hydrangeas by gardening guru Henry Agg! 🌸Garden designer and social media sensation, I love Henry’s accessible approach to gardening and was thrilled when he agreed to pop by for some Pottering.Listen in as we discuss Henry’s rather dramatic career change from the glamour of IT recruitment to the garden shed, the mental health benefits of spending time outdoors, and our highlights from this year’s Chelsea Flower Show. Henry also tells us all about his brilliant book, The Weekend Gardener, packed with tips, tricks and a plethora of projects to fill your weekends. 📖🌱So, dust off your trug, pour yourself a glass of something cold, and let’s go Pottering. 🪴🎧 Watch on YouTube and Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.And please like and subscribe! @tomallenClick below to discover QVC’s My Garden Escape, whether you're a seasoned gardener or a horticultural novice, it's your ultimate gardening destination.

Joining me in the garden this week is the glorious Ginger Johnson! 🌿😍Champion of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, MasterChef maestro and all round delight, it was such a joy to chat with Ginger. I cannot wait to see her brand new show, Show Pony, hit the road later this year! Tickets are available at gingerjohnson.co.uk. 🎭 We chat about theatrical beginnings, depressing queer cinema, the noughties drag scene and our shared love of Alan Bennett. Ginger also shares a rather harrowing garden tale involving guinea pigs, so that is something to look forward to! Now, sweep away those ants, pause that episode of ’Allo ’Allo!, and come Pottering with me. 🐜🐜🐜🎧 Watch on YouTube and Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.And please like and subscribe! @tomallen🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans!
