Tasman Bay Herbs was founded in 1996 - and purchased by husband and wife duo Gavin and Emma Visser in 2021.

The couple's Motueka greenhouses, at the foot of the Takaka Hill, supply more than 30 different varieties of packaged culinary herbs and salad greens to supermarkets and independent stores across the country.

Emma and Gavin join Kathryn Ryan to talk about New Zealanders' creative use of fresh herbs, and how to incorporate them into the Christmas menu.
