    Autumn: Is the gardening season over?

    Andy's Story

    Send us Fan Mail Andy started the company that became Urban Herbs back in 2009 purely as an experiment - a short term project to pay off his tuition fees. Little did he know that he was going down a horticultural rabbit hole that would shape the next decade of his life. He feel in love with the unusual foodie sensory and culinary herb plants that he promotes and sells today and published the Herb Gardening Handbook in 2023. Now he is on a mission to share the joy of growing with everyone and is the co-host of the Growing Up Podcast with his wife Kate. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/growinguppodcast The Growing Up Podcast is proudly sponsored by the amazing First Tunnels.

    Kate's Story

    Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, we introduce one of our hosts. This is Kate's story. Kate doesn't come from a traditional horticultural background. She brings with her a decade of major events experience having worked at various community arts projects and as an event manager at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Kate's married to Andy and they run Urban Herbs together. In 2023 Kate became a full-time employee at Urban Herbs. Her route into horticulture is certainly not a traditional one and in this episode, we explore Kate's journey toward falling love with the world of growing, being a woman working in horticulture and the realization that having a relationship with growing is KEY to personal wellbeing.
