My zoom talk “A Virtual Edimentals Walk Around Burnley Gardens” in Melbourne, Australia was recorded and is now available
https://youtu.be/rHX3q3Dng4k
I based the talk on Edimentals that can be grown in Melbourne, based on plant lists for Burnley Gardens and the Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne!
After the talk, Sam Taylor and his team made a salad from plants growing in the garden! See pictures below.
Thanks for inviting me, it was fun to put this together, and thanks for allowing me to put the recording of this unique talk up on my youtube channel!
