We don't know what we expected. Probably to laugh and move on...But the cards had opinions.
We pulled tarot for our gardens and somehow ended up having one of the more honest conversations we've had about where we actually are with our lives.
Come for the chaos, stay for Meg's reading that was uncomfortably accurate.

One teaspoon of healthy soil holds more living organisms than there are people on Earth. Meagan and Dagny break down the science of what’s actually in your garden soil — the bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and mycorrhizal networks doing work you’ve never given them credit for. They cover what tilling and over-fertilizing actually do to soil biology, what the research actually says (vs. what went viral), and a practical soil health audit any gardener can run this weekend.Mentioned in this episode:Soil food web research: Dr. Elaine Ingham, USDA Natural Resources Conservation ServiceGlomalin discovery: Dr. Sara Wright, USDA (1996)No-dig gardening: Charles DowdingMycorrhizal network research: Toby Kiers lab, Vrije Universiteit AmsterdamSupport our podcast and get exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/c/GardenGirlsPodcast Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLSRenee's Garden Seeds: https://sh2543.ositracker.com/398693/9151*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*

Welcome to The Garden Girls Podcast!
We’re Meg and Dagny—two gardening content creators whose friendship started in a group chat filled with plant questions, garden wins, and the occasional gardening chaos. Eventually, we thought... why not invite everyone else into the conversation?
Each week, we'll be digging into all things gardening—from growing food and flowers to preserving the harvest, garden experiments, historical deep dives, hot takes, and the mistakes we're making along the way. Whether you're a seasoned gardener, a complete beginner, or just someone who loves hearing passionate people talk about plants, you're in the right place.
In this trailer episode, we're sharing what inspired us to start the podcast, what you can expect from future episodes, and why we think gardening conversations should be both educational and entertaining.
Grab your coffee, tea, or seed catalog and join us. We're so glad you're here.
🌻 New episodes every week.
