SOLD OUT! Want to grow food, but don’t have enough space for both a veggie patch and the pretty ornamentals? Clive Blazey, co-founder of The Diggers Club and author of eight books on horticulture (purchase here via Diggers), has spent a lifetime inspiring gardeners to create productive yet beautiful landscapes. He says there’s no excuse for an ugly food garden. “Some of our most decorative plants are edible. And, in so many cases, there are edible replacements for any particular plant.” Join Jac Semmler, Diggers Club head of ornamentals for this session on integrating edible ground covers, flowers and more to create a beautiful and productive foodscape that will also help with attracting pollinators to your garden and offer year-round interest. We’ll cover design, varieties, texture, colour and more in this exclusive session. Register growitlocal.com to reserve your spot for this free, limited capacity live digital event.

You need to register here for the Zoom Link: http://bit.ly/KommunitiTheFutureOfFood Food is about connection. It connects us to each other, to nature, to culture and to the economy around us. It affects our health, our moods and even our ability to learn. The future of food, therefore, has impacts on the future of everything else we care about, and in particular on the sustainability of our climate and ecosystems. Right now much of the food we consume is making us unhealthy and unhappy while simultaneously destroying the sustainability of the ecology humans have always relied on. How can we turn this around? This session of Think|Act|Change will bring together leaders in food innovation and sustainability to share their insights on where things are moving and how to make a food system that is better for us and for the world. Confirmed speakers: David Carter, CEO Austral Fisheries, the world's most sustainable and first carbon neutral fisher Erica Hughes, Founder and CEO, Farmer Meets Foodie Ankit Chopra, Co-founder, Eat Me Chutney Tim Silverwood, Co-founder, Ocean Impact Organisation Alana Mann, Chief Investigator of FoodLab Sydney and the Associate Professor and Chair of Media and Communications at the University of Sydney.
