I love the idea and audio only is better than nothing, but this podcast is nothing more than the audio from a series of lectures that were presented with photos, which are referred to frequently. It&#39;s rather frustrating.

Needs the photos

I love to garden but, I wasn&#39;t sure if the hobbie would translate well to podcasting.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Listening to the Gardens Illustrated Q&amp;A lectures put me in a warm, spring mood throughout the freezing winter day.  The enthusiasm of the speakers is contagious.  I wait for more podcasts from Gardens Illustrated Magazine. 

A wonderful spring in winter
