About this episode

Some communities can't access green space, depriving them of the physical, mental and social benefits that nature brings. Discover how the Community Greening program is changing the health and wellbeing of communities one garden at a time. Order our book: What the Flora? Blending science, true crime and history, What the Flora? offers a fresh perspective on the ingenuity and wonders of the plant kingdom. You’ll encounter trees that survived atomic blasts and deadly species that have shaped medicine and myth, discover the mind-bending secrets of plant intelligence and learn how pollen can be used to crack a murder case. The print copy is available to order from book retailers across Australia. Find out more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
