In today's episode I am chatting with the lovely Lexi from Lexi Floral Fanatic all about disability within the horticultural industry. Lexi is a garden blogger and disability advocate who visits gardens using her mobility scooter. I shared over on my Instagram last year about being born with Spina Bifida which was a huge deal for me as I have spent most of my life not openly talking about it. However I'm realising as I get older that if I want to be part of the change and shed a positive light on disability then I need to find my voice. Hence me wanting to have this conversation with Lexi, to raise some much needed awareness. Particularly within the horticultural industry. Lexi has a really uplifting outlook on life and has so many interesting and useful insights that she shares during our chat. I hope you enjoy listening.    Get in touch with Joanne:  Website: www.joannetruby.co.uk Instagram: @joannetrubyfloraldesign Email: [email protected]   Get in touch with Lexi:  Website: www.floralfanatic.co.uk Instagram: @lexi_floral_fanatic Email: [email protected]   Jardineer gardening tool set - specially adapted gardening tools.
