Listen "Series 5, Episode 8: Matilya Njau, Horticulturalist"
Episode Synopsis
I’m a gardener by trade and have spent most of my waking moments in the last 8 years, tending to and communing with plants. At the heart of my practice is helping people reconnect with their immediate surroundings, creating green spaces in difficult places and using gardening as a vessel to connect with self, ancestors and other human and non-human beings. I also welcome any opportunity to create food-growing spaces! The questions that drive my work are; what relationships do we need to build with plants in order to address climate and food justice? What do plants teach us about ourselves and others? How do our ancestors speak to us through the non-human world? How can green spaces act as vehicles for connection, rest and therapy?Send us a textExplore more Breaks & Joins podcasts, on the repair of our stuff, ourselves and our communities.
