EP309 Happy Christmas & New Year From John : A Short Christmas Thank You From The Garden

Before the tinsel settles and the kettle boils again, we press pause to send a heartfelt Christmas message from our garden to yours. This cosy sign-off wraps the year with gratitude for a community that tunes in from around the world, tries the ideas, shares wins and setbacks, and makes the whole project worth doing. If you’ve ever listened on a commute, sown seeds with earbuds in, or sent a question that helped shape a future topic, this one is for you.

We keep it short and warm: a big thank you to everyone who supported the show through reviews, messages, Buy Me a Coffee, workshops, and courses. That support keeps the conversations practical and grounded, and it helps us plan topics that meet real needs across different climates, spaces, and skill levels. We also look ahead to a bright 2026, wishing you safety, rest, and the kind of garden plans that lift your mood on grey days. Think seed-starting setups that actually fit your home, soil care that builds resilience, wildlife-friendly planting for pollinators, and smart pruning that respects the rhythm of your plants.

There’s a little housekeeping too. We’re closing the year on episode 309 and taking a short festive break. Weekly episodes return on 9 January with focused guidance, seasonal calendars, and step-by-step tips to help you grow with confidence—whether you tend a balcony, an allotment, or a rambling back garden. Expect clear, no-fuss advice anchored in real-world gardening, plus the same friendly tone you’ve come to trust.

Thanks for listening, for sharing the show with friends, and for being part of a generous, curious community. If you enjoyed this brief holiday message, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a gardener who could use a smile. See you on 9 January—until then, happy Christmas and happy garden.
