Why We Garden – Bob Brown at Blue Mountains Writers Festival

In a world of well-stocked supermarkets and florists, why do we garden, even when we don’t have to? This was the question that fascinated Hannah Moloney, a familiar face from the ABC’s much-loved Gardening Australia. 

So she went out and asked. She spoke to politicians, artists, community leaders, activists and thousands of ordinary gardeners. Join Hannah  in conversation with avid gardener Amy Sambrooke, to discuss the book that explores the surprising, insightful and often philosophical answers Hannah received. 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.
