Fleur Flanery on what the landscape says about us, The Australian Landscape Conference and a million trees.

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.
