#76 - Deep Ecology & Ecological Identity | John Seed

In this episode, I sit down with John Seed. A rainforest activist, deep ecology teacher, and one of Australia’s most important voices in helping people remember their place inside the living world. We explore deep ecology not just as an idea, but as a shift in identity. Not “humans over here and nature over there”, but humans as one expression of the Earth, woven into the same living web as forests, fungi, rivers, animals, soil and everything else. John shares from decades of rainforest activism, the birth of the Council of All Beings, and the deeper question sitting underneath so much of ecological work: how do we move from simply caring about nature, to actually feeling ourselves as part of it? A beautiful, deep, and grounding conversation for anyone who feels that gardening, soil, forests and ecology are really pointing us back to something much bigger.

#75 - Holistic Management For Better Farmers | Brian Wehlburg

In this episode I sit down with Brian Wehlburg, one of Australia’s leading Holistic Management educators and the director of Inside Outside Management. Brian has spent decades working with farmers, graziers, landholders and communities across Australia and New Zealand, helping people make better decisions for their land, their animals, their businesses and their families. He’s a certified Holistic Management educator with Holistic Management International, a certified Master Field Professional with the Savory Institute, and brings a deep lived experience from farming in both Zimbabwe and Australia. This conversation is about far more than grazing. We get into what it actually means to manage land holistically, how decision-making shapes the future of a farm, why soil health and people health are so connected, and how regenerative agriculture becomes much more powerful when it includes the human beings making the decisions. A beautiful conversation about land, life, responsibility, regeneration and learning to work with nature instead of against it.

#73 Can Technology Make Us Better Gardeners? | Josh Gardens [ThePlantTechie]

In this episode I’m joined by Josh Gardens, also known as the Plant Techie, for a conversation about the crossover between plants, gardening and technology. Josh sits in that really interesting space where two worlds collide... the living, breathing, sometimes messy world of plants, and the fast-moving world of tech, tools, data and innovation. We talk about what technology can offer gardeners, where it can help us understand our plants better, and also where we need to be careful not to lose the simple human connection of actually observing, touching and spending time in the garden. This was a really fun chat and a great episode for anyone who loves plants, enjoys learning, and is curious about where gardening might be heading next.

#72 - The Beauty of Being a Home Gardener | Elisabeth Kingman [Garden Girl/Muddy Boots]

In this episode, I’m joined by Elisabeth Kingman or Garden Girl, and the other half of the Muddy Boots Podcast. After having Keith Edwards on the show, it was great to sit down with Elisabeth and hear her perspective as a home gardener, podcast host, and someone who is constantly learning through conversations, mistakes, seasons, and time spent in the garden. We talk about her gardening story, what it’s like learning alongside someone like Keith, the common mistakes everyday gardeners make, the joy of home gardening, garden design, and the beauty of simply getting in and having a go. This is a really human conversation about gardening from the perspective of someone who loves it, lives it, and is still learning — which, really, is where most of us are. If you enjoy these episodes and want to show your support to allow me to continue doing what I’m doing, the best thing you can do is subscribe.
