On this episode, we are joined by Freddie Blackett, CEO and founder of Patch Plants to talk urban gardening, the importance of human connection with plants for our physical and mental health and why we all need a Big Ken in our lives (trust us, it will all make sense by the end of the episode.)

Launched in 2015, Patch is the UK’s leading digital brand for urban gardeners, built on the beliefs that reconnecting with nature is fundamental to the sustainability of urban living, and that a life lived with plants is a more calm, bright and healthy one.

Patch is on a mission to green-up city life by helping you choose the right plants for your space – delivering every plant quickly and with care, and providing expert advice on how to look after them.

Cited by numerous publications as a brand to watch, Patch has been successfully fundraising and is (all puns intended) moving from green shoots to a thriving, growing business. For more information and to get yourself a Susie, Rapunzel, Bertie - or yes, even a Big Ken - head to https://www.patchplants.com/gb/en/ or check out Patch on Instagram @patchplants and Twitter @patch_plants
