When you think about gardening, plastic pollution probably isn't the first thing that springs to mind.

In this episode, Heather Higinbotham, CEO and co-founder of Back Porch Pots, unpacks just how big a problem those little black plastic pots are for the world, and what her company is doing to eliminate them.

Heather is an accidental entrepreneur, having founded Back Porch Pots while trying to grow her own tomatoes during Covid. In the absence of a reusable alternative to plastic plant pots, she and her co-founder went about designing and developing their own.

She walks us through what she learned about starting a company, launching a Kickstarter campaign, and designing a physical product with very unique specifications.
