Hello Lisa.

Welcome back to another edition of THE PENCIL CASE! As always, each issue centers on a theme meant to encourage a fresh look at garden design and graphics. This week, we’re focusing on GARDEN PODCASTS…the kind that keep you company while you draw, sketch, and let ideas take shape. I love listening to podcasts as I design; they’ve become a quiet, creative backdrop at the drafting table. 

GARDEN PODCASTS I LISTEN TO WHILE I DRAW

Right now, Garden Graphics Tool Kit is open for enrollment, and since many of us are spending more time drawing, sketching, and learning, I thought it would be fun to share something that pairs perfectly with that process.

When I draw, I often have a podcast playing in the background…voices about plants, place, and process that keep me company while ideas take shape. I recently asked the designers inside our membership, the Garden Design Collective what they like to listen to while they work, and I gathered their favorites into a blog post. Find the link below.

If you’re looking for thoughtful garden podcasts to listen to while you sketch, design, or tend your own garden, you can find the full list here:

I love how these create a rhythm in the background…steady enough to support focus, plus interesting enough to spark new ideas. Whether you’re tracing over a plan, sketching loosely, or just daydreaming about your garden, maybe a few of these will become trusted companions.
