Stems Leaves & Roots with Dani

Dani

This podcast is about everything plants. It is in episodic format.  The first few were dedicated to kitchen gardens.  I talk about indoor plants and making your gardens stress-free.  And on a budget! I also have minis on women who paved the way for women like myself in this industry.  From the first to get degrees in horticulture, to the women who made it easier for us modern gals to study at places like Burnley In 2025, I start a new imagining of bites.  These are about my favourite plants and how you will also fall in love with them.  I will tell you about how to grow them. In the future, I hope to have some interviews with women in horticulture of today.

    Send us Fan Mail Hello, my dear leaflets,  Annie Richards was the first white woman to reside in Fowler Bay and lived through the harsh conditions of that area.  She collected flowers for Mueller and Tate.  She was instrumental in the collating of some of the amazing plant specimens in the collection housed at the National Australian Herbarium. Plants synonymous to Annie and Thomas: Eucalyptus youngiana F.Muell (1876) as 'Richardson', Erysimum richardsii F.Muell. (1877), Parmelia hypoxantha Müll.Arg. (1881), Parmelia conspersa var. polyphylloides Müll.Arg. (1883), Puccinia wurmbeae Cooke & Massee (1888), Helipterum troedelii F.Muell. (1890), as 'Mrs Richards', Helipterum jessenii F.Muell. (1890), Bassia longicuspis F.Muell. (1891), as 'Mrs Richards', and Nicotiana goodspeedii H.-M.Wheeler (1935), as 'Richards'.
