Do Something For Nothing with Joshua Coombes and Dr. Ebony Escalona

Welcome to this ‘Do Something For Nothing’ podcast takeover for The Conduit.  I am Joshua Coombes – hairdresser to the homeless and an amplifier of kindness. Join me and Conduit community member, Dr Ebony Escalona, as we interview some really interesting people who are doing things outside of the box to benefit their communities and our planet.

In this episode we are joined by Richard Reynolds. Has your day ever been brightened by a Sunflower growing in an unlikely urban space? Well, guerilla gardening may have been the reason! In this episode TEDx speaker and author Richard Reynold shares with us the positive impact that gardening without borders can have on our local communities from social connection and mental health to biodiversity and beauty.
