A garden lockdown special for green thumbs and newbies alike

Some of us have always spent time in the garden

But for others, spending more time at home means we’re growing things for the first time, perhaps starting small. I’ve only managed to harvest two tomatoes from the vine I planted in March.
And then there’s those who, like Jonathan Green, went out and panic-bought chickens when it seemed like we were on the verge of an apocalypse.
Whatever kind of garden-lover you are, there’s something for you in Blueprint’s one-hour garden lockdown special, featuring interviews with a permaculture consultant, a horticulturist, an urban forester and more.
Also on Radio National this week is the next instalment of The History Listen’s five-part series on High Court cases that changed Australia.
The series is called Section 71 – after the section of the Australian constitution that gives the court its powers – and it takes listeners behind the scenes of five key cases, including the DOGS case on school funding.
And you might have heard about the recent death of Jack Mundey, the unionist who led the “green bans” that stopped heritage sites in Sydney from being demolished in the 70s.
In this interview he did with Richard Fidler in 2010, he talks about his life as an activist.
Until next time,
Rosie Ryan, Digital Editor
