Christmas in a Garden with Life is a Garden

Cary Goodwin (Life is a Garden | Spokesperson and Colourful Group | Head Girl)

Cary Goodwin tells us what indigenous trees are great stand-ins as a Christmas tree, let’s us in on the secret world of bugs, gives hints and tips on what to be doing in the garden, and beware - here be Dragons!
