    Planning Mum and Dad's Garden

    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.

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!!!!
