Sunbury Neighbourhood House Bush-tucker Garden Planting

Come learn about some of the plants that are used by the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, and the greater Kulin Nations around Narm (Melbourne), as food, fibre, medicine and for tools.

Help the community at Sunbury Neighbourhood House to enhance and extend Pernaperna's bush-tucker garden. This demomstration garden can show other people what they could be growing at their homes. This will also act as a Gardens for Wildlife site, as these same plants provide habitat for a whole host of native wildlife, we should share our spaces with too.

What's provided

• Gloves.
• Sunscreen.
• All the planting tools and materials.
• Drinking water, tea and coffee.

What to bring

• Wear weather-appropriate clothing and bring a rain/wind-proof jacket.
• Wear safe, fully-enclosed walking shoes.
• Bring your own reusable drink bottle.
