With lots of enthusiasm and very little know how, Emily and Maddie love chatting about gardening, often with a glass of wine or cocktail in hand. In each fortnightly episode, we speak to people who inspire us in the garden, in order to unearth some much needed knowledge.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Josh van Cuylenburg // Guerilla Gardening, Gardening as a Gateway to Community, Mental Health, Sri Lankan Cooking
Q: Do you have any particular gardening goals or dreams that you guys have there?
Josh hopes to keep creating an inviting, calming and beautiful garden, and says he has considered turning the grass verges around his corner property into gardens.
Josh van Cuylenburg // Guerilla Gardening, Gardening as a Gateway to Community, Mental Health, Sri Lankan Cooking
Q: Can you talk to us about the positive impact in terms of how gardening has impacted your mental health and how you feel when you're in the garden?
Josh says gardening gives him time outdoors, hands-on activity, connection with nature and a chance to slow down without more audio input. He finds that even a short time in the garden can improve his mood.
Luen's Flowers // Daisies, Dahlias, Roses, Flower Farming, Permaculture, Stoicism
Q: What are some of the most common things that people get wrong when it comes to raising seeds?
Luen says people often sow at the wrong time because they follow advice from different climates. She recommends asking local growers about timing and using a well-draining seed-raising mix, since small seeds can rot in ordinary potting mix.
Luen's Flowers // Daisies, Dahlias, Roses, Flower Farming, Permaculture, Stoicism
Q: Can you sort of run us through the timeline? You're quite heavily involved in the music industry and then you've sort of gone to Colombia and it sounds like you maybe had a bit of an aha moment and kind of decided to perhaps change the trajectory of things. What was the timeline of that all shifting for you?
After returning from Colombia, Luen continued DJing and teaching, then burned out during a period when work dried up around the start of COVID. She moved to Byron Bay, volunteered at farms, and began an organic market garden.
Honey Atkinson // Intergenerational Living, Photography, Dividing Labour, Becoming more 'Me'
Q: What long-term thinking do they apply to the property and family life?
They plan for future generations, consider potential contingencies like helping their kids with housing, and use permaculture-inspired design and counselor-like conversations to align values and expectations for years to come.
