Gardening for Wellness & Joy: White Strawberries
Welcome to White Strawberries, where gardening, permaculture, and sustainable living nourish body, and spirit and the planet. I’m Sam—a gardener, mum, educator and podcaster.
This is my passion! So, I'm glad you're here. Each episode explores an aspect of growing and eating nutrient-dense foods and growing flowers for joy.
I cover garden design, soil health, mushrooms, animal integration, and seasonal growing insights along side in-kitchen gardening and cut flowers. Because growing biodiversity means everything grows better.
I am a self confessed lazy gardener, who aims to do things efficiently with max returns.
🌱 Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener, I hope you'll join me each week.

🌱 In this episode, I’m tackling a problem I hear all the time — what to do when your garden isn’t thriving.
Maybe your garden used to be amazing, but now your plants are struggling. Maybe you are hesitant to continue to purchase soil and your plants aren't thriving. Maybe your potting mix has released all it's fertiliser, or maybe you're starting from scratch! Leaves are pale, flowers are sparse, and growth is slow. I’ll walk you through practical ways to fix infertile garden soil and bring your garden back to life.
I’ll cover:
🌿 What to add to a garden bed to support growth
🌱 How organic soil amendments like cow manure, seaweed, and banana peels can help
⚡ Why N-P-K nutrients for plants are essential, and what each one does
💧 How to manage soil moisture like a “wrung-out sponge”
🌸 The take-home message: diversity is key — feed your soil, feed your plants, and your garden will thrive
