This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Sam Hall — a young, passionate, and talented wildlife photographer and nature enthusiast. Sam is a great example of how you can make a meaningful impact on conservation efforts and inspire others, even from a young age.

What I loved about this conversation was hearing how early involvement in conservation gave Sam a deep appreciation for the animal world. His father played a key role by taking him on adventures, sparking a love and respect for some of Australia’s less cuddly creatures — reptiles! Sam even keeps a few pet snakes at home!

This week we are joined my Mykal Hoare, a wonderful native gardener from the Blue Mountains in NSW. We discussed how you can create yourself a thriving organic native garden that not only looks really beautiful, but also serves to build soil health and the health of the ecosystem in general.

Mykal also runs a podcast and is the creator of 'The Gardener's Lodge' - a website dedicated to educational resources and consultation services that can help you build the native garden you've always wanted. I was thrilled to get a chance to sit down and chat with him today and I really hope you enjoy the episode.

On the show this week is the absolute legend and Native Bee enthusiast Clancy from Bees and Blossoms Aus!

We get stuck into how to attract native bees to your gardens and then how to go about keeping them there. We talk about honey producing species and how that differs from the European honeybees and why the quality and source of our honey really matters...

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with expert herb grower Sarah Heath. From your traditional garden herbs to culinary delights, Sarah has experience with many different varieties and is now cultivating high quality plants to many local restaurants and chefs.

We touch on why Sarah isn't a huge fan of Microgreens, why Chefs seem to know best when it comes to high quality produce in their cooking, and how to best get your herbs to grow at home...

On this episode we highlight the amazing work done by Tianda + Valentino - creating the incredible 'uForage' app that is connecting local growers to the local community.

It's becoming more and more essential in this day and age to be eating local food wherever possible, and connecting back with our communities to share nutrient rich food.

I highly recommend you all go and download the app now, I've been having a lot of fun on it finding all the wonderful growers in my local area.

Welcome to a very special episode here on the podcast where I take the show on location to The Weedy Garden!

If you haven't come across Weedy by now hopefully this episode will encourage you to check out his wonderful videos and to support his journey.

I've been a big fan of his since he first started making videos during 2020's lockdown on youtube and I was absolutely thrilled to make the journey down to his garden for this special episode.
