He also covers the concept of the communication network that operates between plants and microbes and stimulates further thought about our role as gardeners in supporting a thriving soil environment.

One of the most engaging parts of the discussion, is the opportunity to open up to questions which can be submitted in advance of his talk or live during the presentation. He will aim to get to as many as possible during the talk, any questions that are not able to be covered will receive an answer via email in the following week.
