In this episode of Gardening for the Soul, Jo chats with David Trood – better known as Weedy from The Weedy Garden. After a celebrated 30-year career travelling the world as an award-winning photographer, David returned to Australia in 2020 and discovered a new way to tell stories: through permaculture and organic gardening. His YouTube channel, The Weedy Garden, became a YouTube sensation, inspiring thousands to bring the magic of food forests into their own backyards.

We talk about how David’s passions for photography, storytelling, and creativity have come together in the garden, the lessons he’s learned along the way, and his exciting competition – giving the Yass community (and everyone across Australia!) the chance to win their very own Weedy Garden.

A conversation about growth and gardening for the soul – and how anyone can start growing their own backyard food forest.
