In this episode I catch up again with Amy Downie from the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne.Amy was last on about 6 months ago on episode 236 and she spoke about how at the Botanic Gardens, she works on escarpment horticulture, and that she was hopeful of one day going on a trip where they'd need to climb on a 300m cliff to get the seeds of an endangered Eucalypt, Eucalyptus stenostoma. Well she just got back from that exact trip, so I wanted to get her on to hear all about it and what could possibly be next!You can follow Amy on Instagram @amydownie_If you're wanting to sign up to be on the mailing list for The Landscaping School, you can find the link here.You can follow along with the projects we're currently working on via our Instagram page@instyle_gardens@thelandscapingpodcastYou can view each episode on our YouTube channel
