With Angela Barnes & Matt Richardson
Stand-up Comedians and Mates Angela Barnes and Matt Richardson have both found a love for gardening, but have absolutely no clue what they're doing. If you love getting your knees dirty and your fingers green but are gardening totally blind - this is the show for you. A judgement free show, where no question is too stupid and no failure is too embarrassing. Angela & Matt are trying to make their new hobby a little less snobby. Each week they're joined by guests from the gardening and comedy world to chat all things green.

Hot lawns, crispy shrubs, and a garden that’s suddenly producing more food than two hosts can handle. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep plants alive through a brutal heatwave - or how to turn even a small patch into something seriously productive - this episode is packed with practical, very real gardening chaos.Matt Richardson and Angela Barnes start with the summer damage: scorched lawns, stressed acers, and the slightly terrifying moment a butane weed burner nearly set the garden alight. But the conversation quickly turns into the good kind of obsession - raised beds, gravel gardens, veg patches, fig trees, pumpkins, and the strange joy of handing beetroot to your neighbours because you’ve grown too much of it.
Matt and Angela also talk about the bigger shift happening in British gardens right now - from ornamental lawns to edible, resilient spaces that can actually feed you. There’s a lot of optimism here, but also a practical edge: what do you do when the weather is extreme, the garden is young, and everything feels like it might just give up?Perfect for gardeners who want honest advice, fresh ideas, and a reminder that even a messy, half-burned, sun-scorched garden can still be the start of something exciting.Guest credibility: Megan Green from Hayloft joins later in the episode, bringing her plant expertise from one of the UK’s best-known online plant retailers.
