Great Gardens is WA’s leading program of community sustainability education.
The podcast to serve as a platform for discovering the intricate relationships between human health, soil health, and ecological health.
Ben is passionate about microbes and how we can live in symbiosis with them. They can enrich our lives and our conscious experience, and I see this podcast as my contribution to the evolution of human consciousness.
The vision:
- to reconnect people to nature.
- to educate people on how we are inextricably connected to our environment.
