    Love this podcast!
    While recovering from surgery, this podcast has been so instrumental for my emotional wellbeing. It’s culturally relevant and full of information that I just didn’t think about previously. (Example the botanical Black history episodes) I’m so happy to have this podcast!

    Smart Plant Podcast
    I just started listening. I love this concept. I like what I hear and I’m excited to listen to all the old podcast and purchase a coloring book. Keep keeping us informed about the history of plants and how wonderful plants are.

    Phenomenal
    This is the perfect podcast for anyone with an interest in plants, gardening, and horticulture seasoned with humor, culture and love for her people. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening.

    Not A Plant Guy But…
    I’m not a plant guy, in the least. But I do appreciate her approach to horticulture: it’s much more about “The Culture” than it is a scientific breakdown of plants and soil. Not that science is bad but I ain’t there yet. I’m just here for the jokes and plant talk from people who look and sound like me.

    Introspection Extended to the Garden
    While spirituality and intentionality have always been a part of my life, I discovered the practice of introspection being extended to the garden, through Black in The Garden. I love the conversations that Colah-B Talkin curates on the podcast!

    I love Colah’s energy. She doesn’t pretend to know everything about every plant and that makes for great conversations. Have a listen 💚🌱

    The perfect companion to my gardening endeavors
    I love listening to podcasts as I garden, and I have spent a lot of time searching for podcasts about plants and gardening that aren’t just by white dudes. I love Colah B, her voice and her insights. The podcast is so fun to listen to, and there are so many important and good conversations happening within this space! And for real, the art by @makerchamp accompanying the podcast is SO GOOD. Thank you thank you thank you for all your work putting this podcast out into the world! -Reb (@reb.lettuce)

    Finally
    I’m sooo excited every week that we have a podcast now. The hashtags on insta do so much for the Soil Sistas but I never had a voice to put it to. And this podcast has finally given us a voice. I’ve learned so much from how to garden to all the amazing stuff George Washington Carver has done outside of the peanut. Colah is so funny and familiar like the homegirl I’m always running into at my favorite garden center. The podcast has put me on to so many black businesses within the black gardening/ plant lady community. I’m so happy this podcast is here and I can’t wait to see how far it goes. Merch please 🥰

    Black In the Garden
    This has easily become one of my favorite podcasts featured on #applepodcast. It was refreshing to listen and learn from the featured guests especially during Black History Month. I had no idea there were so many black gardeners, horticulturists, farmers, Etc until this podcast. We need more content like this so please make it available. Apple Podcast is my favorite place to listen to podcasts and I’ll continue to support it as long as you keep featuring educational and entertaining content like Black in the Garden.

    You da bess!
    I am so thankful for this show and for Colah. Listening to you discuss plant therapy and how getting in the dirt has been cathartic for you reminded me of growing up with all kinds of plants all around our and my grandma’s house. You’re funny, engaging, and are doing a great job. Thanks for not sucking.
