The king of DIY with Adam Kirtland

Sip & Sow with Tom Coleman

Gardening is for everyone, no grand estates required. Whether you've got a sprawling backyard, a modest balcony, or just a sunny windowsill, there's room for a little green in your life. It's less about space and more about passion and creativity.

You don't need fancy tools or expensive pots. With a dash of imagination and some DIY flair, you can transform everyday items into plant havens. That old teapot, a forgotten boot, or a spare tin can? Perfect for planting! At its core, gardening is about hope and growth, not how much you spend or the size of your space.
This final episode of series 1 of the Sip & Sow podcast is with Adam Kirtland (@Viewfromthepottingbench on Instagram) and in recent years he's become known as the king of DIY in the garden, upcycling pallets into planters and showing how easy it can be to plant spring bulbs and garden in all kinds of spaces.
Tom and Adam met through the gardening Instagram community, which has lead them to work on projects together and attend every major gardening show in the calendar in 2023. So it was the perfect guest to have on to end the first season of the podcast...
Except there's a bonus - Next week the tables are turned and Adam will interview Tom about what it's taken to put the Sip & Sow podcast together, get a behind the scenes insight and hear Tom's take on why he wanted to do it and what he's most loved about the series... and if there will be another...
Hosted by Tom Coleman, self taught gardener, creator and social media expert. Tom chats to those who are making huge strides in our sector and leaves listeners with even more ideas and motivation blossoming in their minds.
