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-phylicifoliumhttps://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/a136491f-1203-4ab2-9b68-c3337f72282e https://www.anbg.gov.au/gnp/gnp3/crowea-exalata.html Costermans L.

Hello my dear leaflets. I hope you're excited for this mini. A little background of my I chode this lady. Before I went to Burnley College, to study Horticulture, I went to Dookie College. This was because I had wanted to do agriculture but wasn't really knowing in what aspect. I had completed an advanced Certificate in Farming the year before. Anyway, what has this to do with horticulture? It doesn't really. But as I am doing these minis on inspirational women, I thought I'd do this one on the first woman -"Long live the lady student" who studied and graduated from Dookie college. https://science.unimelb.edu.au/about/our-locations/dookie/history

Imagine having enough room to feed your family of 4 and extended family all year round. Is it hard to set up? No, not really. It will depend on what your vision is. I.e., do we want raised beds? Garden plots? Garden beds, wicking beds, have a sore back? What about a no-dig garden?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this episode will contain names of deceased persons. Associated social media will contain names and images of deceased persons. With the end of NAIDOC week, I decided to look up some early Aboriginal gardeners; however, this proved a wee bit difficult. I chat about why this is the case. Also speak about two ladies who were quoted to have a vast knowledge of plants, the environment, and their uses. Please check out the show notes if you're interested in reading more about the day-to-day lives of these women. 50 years ago was the first scientific source acknowledged the first peoples of Australia and their understanding of the plant world.
