About Sui Searle

Sui Searle is a gardener, printmaker, writer, speaker, circle facilitator, and founder of the Radicle newsletter and the Decolonise the Garden platform on Instagram.

Summary

In this episode, we delve into nature connection, decolonising the garden, what it means to be radical, the embryonic seed or radicle as a metaphor for activism and community building, intersectional storytelling as an act of reclaiming communal/political space, Sui’s transition into the gardening world from the city, gardening as healing disconnection and isolation, the power of asking questions, the multiple truths of belonging, and our own gardens of belonging.
