Plants Grow Here - Horticulture, Landscape Gardening & Ecology

As a horticulturist working in the maintenance sector, I can appreciate the importance of connecting people from different sectors so we can all learn from each other. In this episode, the editor of the best and only Aussie horticultural industry magazine, Karen Smith explains why this is so important, and how Hort Journal Australia has aimed to be the conduit connecting industry people since it began in 2008. This episode is sponsored but it's been designed to provide serious value for the listener - not only for the sponsor!

Ep.67 How to use native grasses for amenity & habitat in your gardens - Ben Courtice (Ecologist, Botanist, Bush Regenerator)

Ben Courtice is an ecologist, botanist and bush regenerator working for a company on behalf of council around the Melbourne area, and he knows native grasses. In this episode, he shares his wisdom so that we can approach this type of plant with confidence. There are a range of habitat and amenity services that our native Aussie grasses can provide, so there's really no excuse to use invasive ornamental grasses in our gardens any more.
