Show Notes

We live, work, and dream on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands. We acknowledge them as holding deep ecological knowledge and their ability to live sustainably in harmony with the land. They and other ancient cultures are roots of permaculture—working with nature, fostering resilience, and ensuring balance for future generations.

They also talk about common mistakes new gardeners often make (and how to avoid them), plus the role of biochar in boosting soil health.

Before wrapping up, Sabrina offers some encouraging words for new gardeners—reminding us all that even small efforts can make a big difference in our local environments.
