In conversation with Hannah Moloney - SOLD OUT
Event - Saturday 23 May - AdelaideAbout this experience
These sessions are limited to 40 people. Find out why our guests are motivated to write and when their passion for plants began.
What is the one thing they want other gardeners to understand about their work? This 90-minute program includes time for your questions, followed by book signings and further conversation with our author.
Hannah Moloney is a TV presenter on ABC’s Gardening Australia, permaculture practitioner, bestselling author and climate activist. When she has a quiet moment, you’ll find her in Nipaluna/Hobart gardening, playing the ukulele (badly but happily), trail running (badly but happily), painting birds and hanging with her delightful family.
In a world of well-stocked supermarkets and florists, why do we garden, even though we don’t have to? This was the question that fascinated Hannah Moloney. So she went out and asked. She spoke to politicians, artists, community leaders, activists and thousands of ordinary gardeners. This book explores their answers – sometimes surprising, often philosophical, always insightful. Much more than a gardening book, Why We Garden is a joyful, life-affirming exploration of nature, humanity and community. Featuring interviews with Tim Winton, Bruce Pascoe, Laura Tingle, Clare Bowditch, Bob Brown, Costa Georgiadis and many more.
