Episode 51: These Gardening Choices Were Actually Painful Jan 25, 2026

Show notes

Would you rather lose your favorite plant forever… or never be able to buy seeds again? 🌱😅

In this episode of the Garden Girls Podcast, we’re playing Would You Rather: Gardener Edition — and things spiral quickly. From impossible plant choices to chaotic garden scenarios, we put our gardener morals to the test and definitely expose ourselves a little along the way.

This episode is lighthearted, unhinged, and perfect if you love gardening but don’t take it too seriously. We talk through ridiculous hypotheticals, unpopular gardening opinions, and the kinds of choices no gardener should ever have to make — yet somehow we do anyway.

Grab your coffee, your pruning shears, or your emotional support houseplant and play along with us. Drop your answers in the comments because we need to know what you would choose.
