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.

Episode 20 - My Garden and Summer!

Send us a text

Hello my dear leaflets,

I had wanted to get out this episode of summer happiness before we get into the nitty gritty of podcasting. We're still in that honeymoon stage of the holidays, aren't we? Even if most of us are now back at work. This episode as I said from the other one, is me waffling about my garden and what’s in it and what I have in the way of plans for it over this year!

Next Episode

Episode 21 An introduction plus a bite or 3

Send us a text

This may say season 2, but the truth of it is, it’s the next 20 main episodes of the podcast, precluding the minis and bites,

So today, I am introducing you to this next season plus a taste of a new thing I wanted to try - bites! And no, they are not like last time and insects...I think I may be the only one who’s interested in bugs. But we're talking plants. Favourites of mine, in no particular order, and because our next real episode is on bushland gardens, I thought I would start with some from the rutaceae family. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/824570-Leionema-phylicifolium https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/a136491f-1203-4ab2-9b68-c3337f72282e
