Show Notes

This week we are joined by Michael Keelan from FIVEAA!

Michael Keelan, host of 'The Gardening Show' on FIVEAA, highlights gardening’s resurgence as a cost-effective way to tackle rising living expenses. He recommends growing seasonal produce for better taste and savings, with easy-to-grow crops like tomatoes and herbs. 

Michael stresses the value of small, frequent purchases over bulk buys and promotes gardening to foster community bonds. He underscores the mental and physical health benefits of gardening and encourages education on easy crops, pot gardening, and community produce sharing. His passion stems from a family legacy, tracing back to his great-great-grandfather, Queen Victoria’s head gardener.
