C. M. Emery ,

OMG! Something to see me through the long dark winter!

I love their bedroom voices and humble approach to sharing their horticultural passions! So lovely to hear the heart behind Urban Herbs. Living “across the pond” I don’t get to interact with UH much, but have so enjoyed his Instagram feed and cheerful disposition. Loving that he’s chosen to start a podcast with his partner to be ever more present in my digital life! And yes, I hope to one day have a thriving herbal potager garden!!!!
