Stems Leaves & Roots with Dani

Dani

This podcast is about everything plants. It is in episodic format. The first few were dedicated to kitchen gardens. I talk about indoor plants and making your gardens stress-free. And on a budget!

I also have minis on women who paved the way for women like myself in this industry. From the first to get degrees in horticulture, to the women who made it easier for us modern gals to study at places like Burnley

In 2025, I start a new imagining of bites. These are about my favourite plants and how you will also fall in love with them. I will tell you about how to grow them.

In the future, I hope to have some interviews with women in horticulture of today.

Bite 4 Caterpillars, Butterflies and Moths!!

I could do a giant podcast on Caterpillars, Butterflies and moths! As with Ants (see bite number 2 on ants) I don’t think anyone else would be really interested in that, so I am going to try and cram as much knowledge into you heads about caterpillars in one short Bite.

Buckle up kids, it’s gonna be a ride!

Betty and her sister were instrumental in the way we see native plants being used in our landscapes. They didn't just introduce Australian natives, they eliminated traditional English plants.

This amazing pioneer for women in horticulture was the second woman in Australia to earn a doctorate in Science. She was the first appointed woman to be appointed by the Australian Government. And she was an integral part of the destruction of the prickly pear epidemic.
