Podcasts about urban herbs

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.

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

In this episode I got the chance to chat once again to Andy from Urban Herbs who has been making waves in the gardening community for quite some time now. With the launch of his new book: The Herb Gardening Handbook, and the incredibly growth of his personal account @andygrowsherbs, it felt like the perfect time to catch up and hear how things are going. Watch out, the late tomato growalong coming soon!Hello and welcome to Diaries of a Lady Gardener podcast, hosted by me, the Lady Gardener.

It has turned into an incredible community of plant-lovers with inspirational guests each and every week sharing invaluable information, and making me want to buy at least 10 new plants, seed packets, bare roots, tubers (and the rest of it) every episode.

As a means of paying his tuition fees for his horticulture course Andy started selling herbs at farmer's markets. Little did he know that it would lead to him not finishing the course but running his own company and writing a book as well as starting a new experiment of growing food in his front garden.  Andy's story shows how we never know where a decision will take us, how to overcome the ups and downs and for every negative comment there is a lot of encouraging ones. He also shares some exclusives with us on the podcast! IG: @andygrowsherbs @urbanherbsuk  https://urban-herbs.co.uk/

We're so pleased to bring you our latest episode, which features The Brain Possible's CEO and Founder, Emily Abbott, having a conversation with Chloe Weber. Chloe is the co-founder of a CBD and Chinese Herb company called Radical Roots that features, among other products, Remy's Revenge—a mixture she developed for her exceptional child, Remy—and also the name of her website where she discusses diet, detox, movement, her experience practicing acupuncture, and more. Chloe has been interested in biohacking her way through healing since, as a high school student, she was one of the first cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (a type of skin infection) diagnosed in Costa Rica. From there, she developed an interest in public health and medicine and went on to study Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at CU Boulder. Eventually to Chinese medicine, Chloe graduated with a master's in oriental medicine from Southwest acupuncture college in Boulder and also spent time studying abroad. Since then, she's been busier than ever—co-founding a nonprofit sliding-scale walk-in clinic called Urban Herbs. Though she's not accepting new patients at this time as she pursues her doctorate and continues to focus on caring for Remy's medical needs, we encourage you to visit Radical Roots and Remy's Revenge to read more about how Chloe's extensive study of integrative neurology and functional medicine has motivated her to find ways to help children with neurodevelopmental issues and seizures.In this episode, we'll hear from Chloe on both her personal journey as a mama warrior and her professional journey as she aims to promote healing in her son and others. Support the show (https://whoiscarter.z2systems.com/np/clients/whoiscarter/donation.jsp)
