In this episode of The Lead Lamp Podcast, Brett sits down with Ash Zimmerman, the creative mind behind The Plant Witch, a new shop in the heart of downtown Harrisburg’s Strawberry Square. Ash shares her journey from casually thrifting plants and pots to unexpectedly launching a brick-and-mortar business built around sustainability, mindfulness, and self-expression.She opens up about what inspired her to bring a retail experience back to downtown Harrisburg, how she sources ethically and locally, and her vision for The Plant Witch as more than a store — a community space for healing, creativity, and connection. From piano music drifting through her shop to workshops on plant care, tarot, and self-love, Ash blends the metaphysical and the practical in an approachable, uplifting way.The conversation explores the courage it takes to start fresh, the importance of following intuition, and how slowing down — even for five minutes — can help us reconnect with ourselves.
