In short: In this segment from Gardening Australia, Millie visits Langwarrin to explore the direct link between local geology and plant distribution. Discover how the composition of the land shapes the botanical landscape and why understanding your soil's geological origins is essential for successful gardening.
Filmed on Bunurong Country in Langwarrin, Victoria, this exploration features a botanist specializing in the relationship between earth science and vegetation. The segment highlights how geological features serve as a primary driver for the specific plant species found in a given environment.
