EPISODE 006: Jo Henley
Hey friends, Dan Cusack here, your host, back again with another fun episode!
Today, I’m chatting with Jo Henley, one half of Henley’s Rustics—a family business that creates beautiful handmade garden and wicking beds from reclaimed corrugated iron. I can personally vouch for their quality, having had seven delivered for my own garden recently!
In just 12 months, Jo has built an incredible business and a strong social media presence. In this episode, we dive into her journey, discuss her background, and explore how she and her father have created something magical together. Jo shares why they’re not rushing to scale, and how they’re focused on enjoying the process. We also touch on the unique challenges of living in a small country town, with Jo being refreshingly honest about the ups and downs.
It’s a lively conversation with plenty of energy, as Jo and I chat about everything from garden beds to rural life. If you’re interested in purchasing some of these gorgeous garden beds, check out the show notes for more information, and don’t forget to follow Jo on Instagram @henleys_rustics.
I hope you enjoy this chat with Jo Henley of Henley’s Rustics as much as I did!
