Why We Garden | Hannah Moloney in Conversation
About
In a world of well-stocked supermarkets and florists, why do we garden, even though we don’t have to?This was the question that fascinated Hannah Moloney. So she went out and asked. She spoke to politicians, artists, community leaders, activists and thousands of ordinary gardeners. This book explores their answers – sometimes surprising, often philosophical, always insightful. Much more than a gardening book, Why We Garden is a joyful, life-affirming exploration of nature, humanity and community. Featuring interviews with Tim Winton, Bruce Pascoe, Laura Tingle, Clare Bowditch, Bob Brown, Costa Georgiadis and many more.
Hannah Moloney is a TV presenter on ABC’s Gardening Australia, permaculture practitioner, bestselling author and climate activist. When she has a quiet moment, you’ll find her in Nipaluna/Hobart gardening, playing the ukulele (badly but happily), trail running (badly but happily), painting birds and hanging with her delightful family.
In conversation with Hannah is the amazing Bert Spinks. Bert is a Tasmanian storyteller, writer, poet and bushwalking guide. Focusing on social geographies and deep-map writing, his work is largely an excuse to go to interesting places and ask curious questions.
