Have you ever thought about growing Indigenous bushfoods at home? Join Wiradjuri woman Joanne Russell as she takes you through the ins-and-outs of starting your own bushfood and fibre garden at home.
Learn how Indigenous plants can be used for food, fibre and medicine. Then enjoy some delicious samples of bushfood.
Joanne Russell is a proud Wiradjuri woman. She was involved in establishing the Westmeadows Indigenous Community Garden and runs a range of educational events across Victoria.
The Ballerrt Mooroop site is culturally and educationally significant to all First Nations on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country and has significant native vegetation, including the Spirit Tree or Uncle Tom’s Tree, River Red Gum, and many other established native trees, supporting bird life and other ecologies.
This My Smart Garden event is proudly presented by Merri-bek City Council on the land of Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung of the Kulin nation. My Smart Garden pays our respect to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledges that First Nations peoples have cared for Country sustainably for tens of thousands of years.
