Sean and Allison McManus of Spoken Garden are our guests this week on the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast. This gardening couple is well known in the Pacific Northwest for flower gardening and a unique invention.
Sean and Allison share gardening skills and knowledge through their YouTube videos, and their podcast, DIY Garden Minute. They’ve also authored a book together, The First Time Gardener: Growing Plants and Flowers (we make a few cents if you use this link).
