    Episode 101 - Native Gardens

    Joining us in the studio to discuss all things native gardens are big time gardening enthusiasts, Angela from Studio Nikulinsky, and Christine from the ABC. In this episode we nerd out on what we enjoy about our own native gardens, what got us into native gardening, our favourite plants, challenges, heartbreak, and everything in-between. We hope you enjoy this tangential discussion, and get inspired to plant your own native garden.
