Podcast Overview

'These rich and intimate conversations offer new perspectives on our interactions with nature' - The FT I’m Alice Vincent and I’ve been on a quest to understand why women go to ground when there’s so much else to do. In Why Women Grow I have inspiring conversations with designers, chefs, entrepreneurs, and writers in their gardens. This isn’t a podcast about gardening. Sure there’s bit of that but we discuss resistance, motherhood, spirituality, saving the planet and much more. These stories made me think differently about what it is to grow, and I think they’ll do that for you, too.

Olia Hercules on gardening for survival

For many around the world right now, the green spaces that hold so many memories are caught in conflict. This is the case for the activist, writer and chef Olia Hercules, who has seen the garden her mother made occupied by Russian soldiers during the invasion of Ukraine. Now based in East London, Olia has built a garden of her own that she feels has an ancestral connection to the one she knew as a child. Together we drink tea brewed from the plants that Olia has grown here and talk about how, after war has affected every generation in your family, the earth can point to a kind of future.Olia's memoir <a href="https://oliahercules.com/books/strong-roots" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Strong Roots</a> is out in paperback now.

Pollyanna Wilkinson on designing a life-proof garden

With a clutch of medals from RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court flower shows, a bestselling garden design book and more than half a million social media followers, Pollyanna Wilkinson has gained a well-earned reputation for making elegant, contemporary and liveable gardens accessible to all. But while hundreds of thousands of people look to Polly’s approach for inspiration and guidance, her own garden is a retreat for a scant few: her family, her design team and herself. We meet Polly on a clear, crisp morning in her studio garden in Surrey, to talk about how her life, career and motherhood have intertwined with her design practice in ways that might surprise her fans. Pollyanna Wilkinson's book, <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+design+a+garden&sca_esv=e2250487dc351849&sxsrf=ANbL-n7wt5XvmjNX2Wk1b8ZjuueVDZWoJQ%3A1774278381706&source=hp&ei=7VbBafy9KZKrhbIPyYWTmAs&iflsig=AFdpzrgAAAAAacFk_fQQtljhNoqWDKAhDS3LxHChI8uW&gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0rDTLLjcwM8kzYPQSy8gvVyjJV0hJLc5Mz1NIVEhPLEpJzQMA5_sMZg&oq=how+to+design+a+&gs_lp=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&sclient=gws-wiz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">How to Design a Garden</a>, is one of my go-tos, so do check it out.
