On this weeks garden radio show, Peter Donegan and Brian Greene chat with Tim Entwisle, Director at Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Melbourne Australia.On this part 1, we discuss everything from his role as Chief Executive of one of the most beautiful botanic garden on the planet The Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, Australia and also The Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne; to his love of coffee, his office location and just how a non die hard plants person who used to walk the bush looking for gold with his grandfather, changed from a study of maths and physics to botany right up to the position he holds today. Of course we delve into the love hate relationship some may have with the Titum arum, climate change and how Ireland may have too much but in Australia too little water and how that has changed their choice of plants and also a little of how plants as we grow up sometimes become a little cool and uncool as we grow up.
