It’s all about herbs this week on We Dig Plants. Hosts Carmen DeVito and Alice Marcus-Krieg welcome writer, author, and all around herb-lover Ellen Spector Platt to talk about the uses and ease of use, even in small urban environments, of planting herbs. Her favorite herb right now? Lavender. She’s even written a book about it! Learn all about this fragrant herb and others on this episode of We Dig Plants. This episode is sponsored by Fairway Market.
“It’s a lot of bang for your buck with herbs.”
“In Provence lavender is used in a lot of savory things like stews and chicken.”
–Ellen Spector Platt on We Dig Plants
