MIFGS, a.k.a. the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show, is back in 2022 after a 2 year hiatus. I was lucky enough to attend for each of the 5 days, where I networked, volunteered, and interviewed people doing interesting things in the gardening space.

Ep.99 Reintroducing kaka beak plants in NZ gardens to save the native kaka bird - Tim Park (ecologist and manager of Ōtari Native Botanic Gardens)

I've got a good news story for you! In this episode, Tim Park, manager at Ōtari Native Botanic Gardens, speaking about how reintroducing the kaka beak plant into gardens in Wellington has brought the native kaka bird back from the brink of extinction.
This is a story of the mutualistic relationship between a bird and a plant, and it demonstrates a number of principles that can be widely applied within ex situ and in situ conservation. Listen to the episode to learn what those terms mean!
