This week, it's supposed to be one for the kids but we reckon the adults will love it just as much!. Sab and Jamie have a chat with Cat Clowes about her new book, Platastic! The A to Z of Australian Plants. Cat's done an amazing job of showcasing 26 native plants, with stunning illustrations from Rachel Gyan, helping our kids discover the awesome native plants that exist in the bushlands, parks and backyards all around us. While your little green thumbs will love this book and chat, all of us will learn a little more about the native plants we can look out for or feature in our own gardens. If you want to know more about the book, hit the CSIRO website link here!

Have a listen about why this is such a special place, and what a committed group of locals are doing to secure its future.

She also let's you know how you can do it at home, without missing vital food groups and nutrients your pet needs.
