Time: 6pm GMT+10 / AEST
Book: Rewilding Suburbia
Want to save the world? Start with your own backyard.
Mel Logozzo just wanted to keep her veggies safe from pests. When she learned about the power of endemic plants to attract helpful native insects, a practical solution soon turned into an obsession. Slowly she set to transforming her quarter-acre suburban block into a gorgeous haven for native plants, insects, birds and animals.
Now she guides everyone from newbies to seasoned gardeners on how to encourage biodiversity in their neighbourhoods through plant choice and smart landscaping, bringing the bush into their yards – no matter how small.
Join us for a discussion and Q&A with Mel about her new guide to creating a thriving ecosystem at home - get your gardening questions ready!

Book Club with Hannah Moloney
Date: Thursday 5 November
Time: 6pm GMT+10 / AEST
Book: Why We Garden
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.
Join us for a chat and Q&A with Hannah about all the ways it helps to be connected to the land and wildlife around us, and how even a small patch of greenery can be the biggest source of joy (and habitat!)
