| Summary |
Hugh Nicholson, a native plant propagator, environmentalist, photographer and author, speaks of how he and his wife Nanette became part of the conservation campaign in the late 1970s to save the wilderness area adjacent to their property in Terania Creek Valley, northern New South Wales. The Nicholsons' realised that even though the Terania forests were saved a lot of the NSW rainforests were still unprotected. In the early 1980's the Nicholson's turned to growing rainforest plants as a business. Eventually the business supplied most of the wholesale rainforest plants to retail nurseries up & down the east coast of Australia.
