The Josh and Catherine Show

In this episode, we explore some of the most valuable gardening lessons that can transform both your landscape and your approach to gardening. We discuss why perfect symmetry isn't always the best choice, the importance of creating strong "bones" in the garden with dependable plants like boxwoods, azaleas, and camellias, and how identifying what thrives in your unique growing conditions can lead to greater success and enjoyment. Whether you're a new gardener or a seasoned plant enthusiast, you'll learn why growing more of what works—and letting go of what doesn't—can help you create a more beautiful, resilient, and rewarding garden.

We recap Henington House Spring Garden Days 2026, where visitors gathered to share plants, learn from other gardeners and experts, and take home clippings for propagation. Plus, we highlight some of the treasures found on this year's popular plant swap table, including mountain mint, heirloom mums, fire spike, lantana, verbena, coleus, and more.

In this episode, join us as we share stories about pulling weeds, choosing groundcovers, and building inexpensive cattle panel arches covered in rambling roses. We chat about rose types and beneficial herb tea, and share a few entertaining chicken stories along the way. It's a cozy conversation full of garden inspiration and the simple joys of slowing down and growing things.

In this episode, we're sharing the story of how we met and how a friendship rooted in flowers and gardening instantly blossomed.

From childhood gardening experiences to the plants that first made us fall in love with growing things, this conversation is full of nostalgia, laughter, and the joy of sharing a life shaped by gardens.
