Ahead of the first ever Gardening with Natives workshop in the Blue Mountains to be organised by the Blue Mountains Conservation Society on 9 Nov 2025, Paul Gadsby dropped by the Radio Blue Mountains studio to discuss growing native Australian plants with Rights, Rorts and Rants.
Paul is a botanist, educator and expert with 20 years experience with native plants. He has a passion for working in and learning about native vegetation.
In this brief interview Paul talks about his upcoming presentation about the benefits of planting natives plants local to your area. He is encouraging us to take a deeper dive into what is a native plant.
