Creating a community with Jenny Williams at The Laundry Garden
Manage episode 432843280 series 3504987
This is one garden that needs no introduction... and that's because it's become an internet phenomenon in it's own right. The Laundry Garden might have started with humble aspirations to create a beautiful walled garden, but it's since become a whole community. In this episode of the Sip & Sow Podcast, Jenny explains the moment she decided to share the garden on Instagram and how it took off from there, amassing hundreds of thousands of followers from all over the world and how she's now taking that community one step further with the launch of 'The Laundry Garden Collective'
She also talks of course, about her love for Dahlias and how what started as a love for a beautiful flower, has turned into a bit of an obsession and a need to expand the plot to double it's size! She's become known over recent years as a dahlia expert, and now is the very start of the season and Jenny divulges her favourite varieties.
