  • Planning Mum and Dad's Garden
    Apr 29 2024

    Are you feeling a bit 'behind' in this very strange spring season that we are having here in the UK? You aren't alone, but it's important to remember that we are all in the same boat, which is just as well given the amount of rain we've had.

    In this week's episode, Andy's Mum and Dad join us in the studio as we plan a new garden for them, and reflect on the joys of clay soil, wild flowers and thyme lawns.

  • Leaving corporate world to grow plants, one year on does Kate have any regrets?
    Mar 25 2024

    Almost exactly a year ago, Kate formally came to work full-time at Urban Herbs, growing, selling and promoting herb plants as a full-time job. She left behind a full-time job in event management and so this shift represented a dramatic change.

    One year later Kate answers the questions that you have sent in to ask her about her dramatic career change.

    This turned into a really honest chat about the rollercoaster year that we have had and we hope that it represents a hopeful message to many of you out there who are considering similar changes.
