Many of the gardening audiobooks I’ve selected for this guide to the best gardening audiobooks are stories from gardeners relating their wins and losses in the garden.

Don’t forget if you’re looking for the written word, then our guide to vegetable gardening books here covers all areas of veggie growing.
1. Grow Food for Free Gardening Audiobook– Huw Richards
Huw’s audiobook – Grow Food for Free – is inspirational. He set himself the challenge to grow his own fruit and veg for free for a year and this is his story. This gardening audiobook is narrated by Huw himself and is a seriously compelling and motivating listen. He’s grown sustainable organic food for 15 years and he knows what stops people from starting to grow their own food is the cost outlay.
And that’s what this audiobook does – Huw explains in his own words how to grow food for free.
