Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you got into this field? GUEST: Sure, I've always had a passion for plants and design.

Space constraints are a big challenge. You have to get creative with vertical gardening and container planting. Another challenge is dealing with pollution and limited sunlight in urban areas. But with the right plant selection and design, these challenges can be overcome. HOST: That's great to hear. Finally, where do you see the future of urban herb gardening and landscape design going? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a shift towards sustainable and edible landscapes. With climate change becoming an increasingly pressing issue, it's more important than ever to create gardens that can thrive in urban environments while also providing food and habitat for pollinators and other wildlife.
