    This week, Kate sits down to chat with a friend of the show, Kendall, to compare their own experiences as women working in horticulture, discussing the obstacles, challenges, but ultimately the joy that comes from engaging with growing things.

    About Our Guest:
    Kendall Marie Platt is a Horticultural therapist & space holder for garden curious women.
    She is the founder of Adventures with Flowers and supports women to create their own garden sanctuary as they use gardening to avoid burnout.

    She brings together horticultural therapy and sensory-led garden design to create spaces that don’t just look beautiful, they restore you daily. It’s beauty that heals, rhythm that restores and design that supports your body and mind. 

    She does this through her 1:1 horticultural therapy support programme and her membership the Seed.

    She also hosts regular garden-along sessions to help attendees quiet their minds in their garden.

    Today we’re talking about one of our favourite topics: growing food in small spaces — balconies, patios, tiny backyards, fire escapes, even sunny windowsills.
    If you’ve ever thought:
    “I don’t have enough room.”
    “I only have a balcony.”
    “My yard is basically a postage stamp.”
    “I rent, so I can’t dig anything up.”
    This episode is for you.
