Fleur Flanery on what the landscape says about us, The Australian Landscape Conference and a million trees.
Episode Description
Landscape architect, horticulturist, and Director of Outlandish Ventures, Fleur Flanery joins Cass Dowding on The Sentimental Gardener to explore how the landscapes we shape — from backyards to public parks — reflect what we value.
From childhood gardens brought to life by the imagination to managing Canberra's urban forest and curating the Australian Landscape Conference, Fleur has spent a lifetime asking: What is this place saying? What could it become?
In this episode, they talk about:
-
memory, lineage, and legacy held in plants
-
rethinking beauty in public spaces
-
what it means to sit on the edge of an idea
-
and why design — done with intent — is an act of care
A reflective conversation about tending both land and life with purpose.
