In this heartwarming and inspiring conversation, we step inside the world of Growing Friends, the volunteer-run nursery nestled within the beautiful Botanic Gardens of Sydney.

Sheila Buchan shares how a small group of passionate plant lovers grew into a thriving community that now helps fund vital conservation projects, scientific research, and education programs. From propagating rare and unusual plants to supporting world-class botanical collections, Growing Friends is proof that when people come together with purpose, extraordinary things can flourish.

It’s a story about plants, yes, but also about friendship, legacy, and the quiet power of community.
