There’s something special about Saturday mornings on the Mid Coast. The pace slows down, the kettle goes on, and for many locals, the radio is tuned to a familiar voice — 2RE.
For those who might not know, 2RE is one of our region’s longest-standing radio stations, proudly broadcasting to the Forster–Tuncurry and wider Mid North Coast community since 1955. That’s decades of local news, music, stories, and voices that feel like part of the family. It’s not just radio — it’s a connection to community.
Over the years, 2RE has been home to a mix of experienced announcers and local personalities who genuinely know the area — the kind of people who understand what’s happening on the ground, from weather patterns to weekend events. It’s this local knowledge that makes tuning in feel like catching up with a mate.
🌿 So, what is Lumpy Love?
Every Saturday morning, Lumpy Love brings a fresh dose of gardening inspiration, practical advice, and a bit of good old-fashioned chat — all straight from the heart of Lumpy’s Nursery & Landscape Yard.
It’s not scripted, it’s not over-polished — it’s real. Just like gardening.
You’ll hear about:
-
What’s looking great in the nursery right now
-
Seasonal planting tips for our local climate
-
Easy ways to get more out of your garden (without spending a fortune)
-
New arrivals, favourites, and a few hidden gems
-
And the occasional laugh — because gardening should be enjoyable, not stressful
🌱 Why people tune in
Let’s be honest — life’s getting expensive. Between fuel, groceries, and everything in between, people are looking for smarter ways to live. That’s where gardening comes in.
Listening to Lumpy Love isn’t just about plants — it’s about:
-
Saving money by growing your own herbs, fruit, and veggies
-
Feeling good — because getting your hands in the soil does wonders
-
Learning something new without feeling overwhelmed
-
Being part of a local community that shares tips, ideas, and inspiration
And the best part? It’s tailored to our conditions. No generic advice that doesn’t work here — just real, local knowledge that you can actually use in your own backyard.
☀️ A great way to start your weekend
There’s something pretty perfect about listening in while you’re having a cuppa, planning your weekend, or even heading down to Lumpy’s for a wander.
You might hear about a plant you’ve never tried before.
You might get the confidence to start that veggie patch.
Or you might just enjoy a relaxed, local conversation that makes you feel connected.
🌼 Come and see it for yourself
After the show, why not pop into Lumpy’s and see what’s been talked about? Walk through the gardens, chat with the team, and turn a bit of inspiration into something real.
Because at the end of the day, Lumpy Love isn’t just something you listen to — it’s something you grow.
Tune in to 2RE this Saturday morning and feel the Lumpy Love
