In this episode I speak with Jackie Warburton from Terra Solarus. Jackie is a horticulturist, garden designer and columnist with the City News Canberra and is a super passionate person in the industry, so was a lot of fun to chat to.

She has a great story about starting out maintaining a property in the early days of her career, and now recently being employed to re-design the garden to bring it back to it's former glory.

She also has some great bits of advice in this episode about staying in your lane and doing what you do best, as well as the fact that if someone wants something that she doesn't like to provide, she's not the gardener for them.

In this episode I speak with Shaun Gerring from Pure Turf Lawns and Gardens, a lawn and garden maintenance business operated solely by Shaun in Geelong.

Shaun has looked after about 7 of the projects we've built, so I can attest to the quality of work he does, and it was great to get him on to hear where his journey started.

He talks about having to do work on Air Tasker in the early days until he had built up enough work to be more selective and start targeting the high end projects he wanted to work on.

He received some great advice from a previous employer about pushing boundaries, and continues to do that today, while importantly communicating with his clients.

In this episode I speak with Amy Downie, a horticulturist at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne.

I was excited to talk to Amy to learn about escarpment horticulture, which she's involved with, and it was as fascinating a chat as I had hoped!

She recently presented at a Botanic Gardens Conference in Singapore about escarpment horticulture, and her passion for her job is infectious, so she was a joy to speak with.
