A bush tucker garden led by our Elders
Larapinta Community Learning Centre·Alice Springs, NT
A bush foods garden and yarning circle used by 200 community members each month.
Sample content — these campaigns are illustrative examples while we build the site.
The project
Elders from our community will lead the planting and the teaching. The garden will hold bush tomato, quandong, wattleseed and native grasses.
A yarning circle sits at the centre so groups can meet, cook and share knowledge on Country in town.
Local schools will visit each term for sessions run by community members, not outside providers.
