About this audio guide
This guide to the Jardin Botanique de Genève follows the accidental discovery of the Wollemi pine, a conifer known only from fossils and presumed extinct for two million years, deep in an Australian gorge in nineteen ninety-four. It traces how botanists responded once the species turned up alive, and how that response reaches this very garden in Geneva. Listen for what still grows quietly among the collections here.
