In this episode I speak with Colleen Southwell from The Garden Curator. Colleen is a landscape designer and artist based in Orange, NSW.

Colleen mentions that her artwork has taken over more of her time recently, and I was fascinated with how beautiful and unique her paper sculptures were, so we talk plenty about that and her piece which was sent to New York.

Colleen also does garden design workshops and she talks about how she teaches people how to come up with their own design style rather than copying another designer.

In this episode I speak with Andrea Proctor of Andrea Proctor Landscapes, a design firm located in Melbourne.

Andrea has an awesome story about how she got started in the industry and the importance of being proactive and persistent.

She worked for Andrew Laidlaw for ten years after working with John Patrick for 5, and she has since worked on around 20 Botanic gardens and went out on her own in 2020.

In this episode I speak with the World Famous Ashley James from Ashley James Gardens.

Ash was a guest on episode 13 where he spoke about his path into the industry, so I thought it was a great time to get him back on the podcast 3+ years later to see what he's been up to.

We talk about his work writing for Home Beautiful magazine, his partnership with a real estate agency and the launch of his curated seed range with Meadow Flowers Australia.

We also talk about Cass Hooke's garden event which we'll both be attending.
