In this special episode of Blueprint Banter, Contractor Ryan visits rural Quebec to sit down with Emma Terrell—better known as The Urban Botanist. Emma shares her journey as a botanist, moss wall artist, and passionate educator on the importance of native plants and biodiversity.

Recorded inside the off-grid home that serves as the backdrop for her Rewilding YouTube series, this conversation explores the beauty of bringing nature indoors, the challenges of restoring native ecosystems, and how Emma’s work bridges the gap between science, design, and sustainability.

Whether you're a plant lover, design enthusiast, or curious about rewilding your own space, this episode is full of inspiration and grounded insight.
