Manage episode 480662937 series 3611679
Liana is the Nursery Manager at ClimateForce and designer of organic and holistic food systems rooted in ecology, wellness and care. With a strong foundation in growing native and productive trees, she works at the intersection of ecosystem restoration, endangered plant conservation, and regenerative agriculture. Her work makes permaculture and agroforestry practical and inspiring, bridging grassroots initiatives with institutional change.
Join us for a journey into the heart of the Daintree, the oldest rainforest in the world.
Deeply connected to the healing power of plants, she also uses herbs to support mental health and emotional resilience, integrating personal wellbeing with the broader goals of land stewardship and sustainable food systems.
From the personal to the practical, Liana opens up about her favourite herbs, including Brahmi, which she relies on for mental clarity. She also weaves in stories from her great-grandmother's garden in Hungary and the Ambrosia weeds that sparked her apprenticeship with a traditional healer.
Tune in to learn about the vital role of permaculture and native plants in combating climate change, conserving endangered species like the blue tassel fern, and promoting sustainable farming practices. Delve into the significance of bush tucker in local diets and the cultural importance of trees in the Daintree region, offering a unique glimpse into the interconnectedness of people, plants, and place.
