EPISODE 004: Attila the Horticulturalist

Welcome back to the Dan the Plant Man podcast! Today, I’m thrilled to chat with someone I’ve wanted to connect with for a long time—Attila the Horticulturist, a well-known figure in Canberra’s gardening community. I had the pleasure of visiting his stunning property in Bywong, and though I was a bit late, I could have easily spent hours soaking up his wisdom and walking the grounds.

Attila is as humble as he is knowledgeable, and while he doesn't like to be called an expert, his passion and generosity with his advice are truly infectious. In this episode, we dive into his journey, how he got into the industry, and the lessons he’s learned along the way. This is just the beginning—I’ve got a list of topics I’m eager to explore with him in future conversations.

Make sure to follow Attila the Horticulturist on Instagram (@attilathehorticulturist) for more of his insights and tips. His approach to gardening—acknowledging that there’s always more to learn—is a refreshing reminder that the world of plants is endlessly humbling and inspiring.

Enjoy this conversation, and thanks again, Attila, for sharing your time and passion!
