Episode Description: This week on The Beet, garden pros James Alexander-Sinclair and Joe Swift bring their trademark blend of wisdom and wit to the mic. With more than 40 years of shared stories and a friendship built on good-natured ribbing, they show how gardening is at its best when it’s practical, joyful, and curious. In their conversation with Jacques, they remind us that the garden is a place to play as much as it is to work.
