We're pretty excited bout this one - we interviewed Josh van Cuylenburg, a musician, a filmmaker and one of the hosts on the wildly popular podcast The Imperfects. Josh’s insights, curiosity and thoughtfulness makes him an absolute delight to listen to.
If we didn’t love him enough already, it was Josh’s comments on an episode with Mark Mathieson, about the positive impact gardening has on him, that was the icing on the cake.
Josh lives, works and tends to his garden on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation with his wife Sophie and two young sons.
Before we get into chatting to Josh we mention Cascade Bar and Brewery in Hobart - a great place for lunch / dinner in Hobart with sprawling gardens. We're talking bird baths, secret spots in gardens and front gardens.
Josh recalls memories of his first garden and his mum has been wildly influential to his love of gardening and cooking. Josh talks about reinvigorating his garden in Preston, VIC, and how it's been an incredible connection to his local community. He talks about corn, guerilla gardening, Malley Ghost Gums.
Josh recommends Charmaine Soloman's The Complete Asian Cookbook and Paul Bangay's Guide to Plants
