For this month’s ISD: Spring is SPRINGING! We talked (mostly) about plants! Elise Hanson was our guest this month and no one cares more about gardening than her. She won a whole global competition about it! We’ll talk about how Elise gets her hands dirty and how that shapes the way that she creates drinks. We’ll talk about how she works caring about The Earth into what she did at the award winning Civil Works. Bonus: all in-person guests this month got to plant their own herbs and marigolds to start their own little garden at home.
