Hello there, Tom Allen here from the Pottering podcast. This episode is brought to you by My Garden Escape at QVC.

I don't know about you, but the moment the sun started peeking through the clouds, my mind immediately wandered to the garden and getting it summer ready.

And if you're the same, then my garden escape at QVC is a perfect place to start.

It's a bit like having your own virtual gardening centre

where you can browse a whole range of plants, garden decor,

tools, planters, outdoor lighting, and more,

all from the comfort of your own home.

You'll find inspiration and expert gardening advice

all at your fingertips, whether online, on socials or on

QVC's streaming platform, QVC Plus. And if you're planning a bit of Alfresco dining, take a look

Whether you're creating a space to host friends and family or in need of a relaxing retreat, My Garden Escape at QVC is your ultimate gardening destination.
