Qualified horticulturalist and nursery owner Nathan Freeney has been working in the community garden sector for over 15 years and has future plans to provide increased learning and employment opportunities for people with disability. Through his collaboration with Carers Queensland, the 32 year old Coolum resident has built strong relationships with several community gardens, including Beachmere, as he works towards creating greater inclusion by sharing his lived experience. Nathan has also started his own podcast to share the unique stories of people with disability. I caught up with Nathan and started by asking him about his long standing involvement in community gardens and the benefits to the community.
