    Episode 296 - Ben Cottle - Cottle Landscapes

    In this episode I speak with Ben Cottle from Cottle Landscapes, a landscape construction company based in WA. Ben started out doing his apprenticeship at Exquisite Gardens in Melbourne and stayed there for 12-13 years before moving to WA during Covid and starting Cottle Landscapes. I found it fascinating talking to him about his experiences in both states, particularly around soils, plant sourcing and building regulations.

    Episode 293 - Jethro Plunkett - Loci Landscapes

    In this episode I speak with Jethro Plunkett from Loci Landscapes, a design, construction and maintenance company based in southern Tasmania. Jethro started Loci, originally called Van Diemen's Landscapes, before a serious motorcycle accident forced him to reassess the direction of the business direction. Then out of the blue he received a call from Tim Fogarty who'd moved to Tasmania from NSW and was looking for a job. Fast forward and now Tim and Jethro are both directors of Loci, taking the business to new heights! Tim's story is in episode 258 and it's great hearing Jethro's side of the story here.
