about herbs for over 50 years. It is my honor and joy to share what I have learned with you, and to introduce you to my fellow herbalists and plant lovers!
too much Echoe in your guests mike.
Sorry, can’t understand what she is saying.
Hi, Carol, we’re so sorry about the echo. This may be because we had to record in a different platform (Zoom) and it didn’t record as clearly as the other recordings we did. But most people were able to hear clearly without the echo, so perhaps if you are able to listen in on a different device, the recording will be better?
again, our apologies for this.
This podcast is such a gem! Thank you, dear Rosemary 🙂
HI, Lori, so glad you enjoyed it!!!
